Florida Spring Training 2018 - Day 37

It was cold today.   The temperature at game time was 58 degrees with a 10-15 mph north wind.  we were bundled up but it was still uncomfortable.  We lasted until the 8th inning but then our "fun meter" pegged out and we left.  The game against the Tampa Bay Rays was tied 3-3 when we left, but the Phillies went on to win 6-3 on a three-run homer in the 9th inning.

After the game we drove up to Palm Harbor for an early dinner at the Lucky Dill, a NY style deli/restaurant/sports bar.  The food is authentic NY deli food in a setting with a lot of NY Yankees decor.  They were also celebrating St. Patrick's Day week with live Irish music being played by two guys who said they just flew in from Ireland.  We have eaten there before and always enjoyed the food and visit.  As we left, there was also a bagpiper outside playing for the people waiting for a table.



We have two days off from baseball.  The plan tomorrow is a nature hike at Honeymoon Island State Park and other activities TBD.  Tomorrow is also forecast to be chilly, with a warming trend into the weekend.
