Florida Spring Training 2017 - Day 24

The first spring training baseball game was today - a 7 inning game against the University of Tampa team.  They are a very good NCAA Division II college baseball team that is presently ranked number 2 in the country.  The Phillies team today was mostly composed of their top rookies who are expected to be playing in the major league in the next year or two, maybe even sooner for some of them. The Phillies won 6-0 and their rookies looked pretty good.

We started the day with breakfast at Lenny's a favorite restaurant popular with Phillies fans here for spring training.

As the game today was not against another major league team and it was still early, it wasn't too busy.  Once again, we had a "hearty" east coast breakfast, Florida style.

A "Redneck Benedict" - two sausage patties on biscuits with two poached eggs covered with gravy and home fries with onions (maybe 2,000 calories).  This is not an everyday breakfast, but it was sure good.

Judy had the more healthy option, lox and bagels - also very good.

And our waitress called us "hon" and started us off with a complimentary "danish basket" of half a dozen small pastries.

Tomorrow is an R and R day, just hanging around the RV, getting caught-up with paperwork and getting haircuts in the afternoon.  The next game is on Saturday.
