RICHMOND, Va. -- A fellow parent here in my neighborhood mentioned to me yesterday that he’d be taking the family to Florida over spring break next week, and that he’d lined up some tickets to a couple spring training games, one in Lakeland to watch his Tigers, and another in Bradenton to watch the Pirates. I was more than a little jealous …I’ve never been to McKechnie Field (and I will always call it McKechnie Field) for spring training, as March is always just way too busy with two kids in school. Someday it will happen, even if I have to retire to do it!
Of course, knowing you Lunatics, you no doubt have dozens of stories of spring training trips past … so let’s hear ‘em!
