even though i live in the home of grapefruit league baseball, i don't often get to spring training games. i don't know why, and i think that come next year that is going to change. i love watching the boys of summer during the early spring, i love watching kids (and kids at heart) waiting next to the bullpens hunting autographs. i even love only (can't believe that i am typing this) having to spend 7 bucks for a cold beer. whether it is or not, i think that spring training baseball is more pure of a game then the regular season, and i really enjoy going to a small park for a game.
marlins vs. mets, last spring training game of the 2012 season. kinda last spring training game, as the marlins vs. yankees exhibitions at marlins park are still considered part of the grapefruit league season. Went with a decent group, the most memorable being little leah ann shapiro, at her first ball game.
the baby and her parents didn't last too long, even though stacy did a great job scoring us seats out of the sun (sec 206 if you want to know). drank a bunch of those 7 buck beers, including one purchased from my regular bank atlantic center beer vendor dude. scored the game using my new scorebook (forthcoming, I have no scanner at home) and had a generally enjoyable time. oh, and the marlins ended the day with a walk off win, which is always nice to see.
only took a couple pics:

i'm writing this as i watch the marlins play the yankees at the new stadium. i can't understand why it was so damn impossible for me to get tickets for this game, especially as they didn't sell the 25,000 they intended to. doesn't really matter, watching on tv is just getting me more pumped up for wednesday...
