It was opening day for the Phillies and they were welcomed by the mayor, the city council and assorted other politicians and staff from the City of Clearwater for the 71st consecutive year of spring training in Clearwater for the Phillies and the 15th year in the present stadium. And again, the Phillies Phanatic, the best mascot in baseball, and possibly all sports, was present to entertain the crowd and harass the visiting team.
There was also a moment of silence for Roy Halladay, former Phillies pitcher, whom died in an airplane accident last year
The traffic over the causeway into Clearwater Beach was heavy and the town was packed. But it was Saturday night and the weather was beach-friendly. And, spring break isn't really here yet. It looks like it is going to be a busy time here this year. Despite the traffic, our meal at Frenchy's was again outstanding and the sunset was beautiful.
