03.06.2011: Angels Spring Training

It was a gorgeous Sat in March....and about the middle of the spring training season. The teams are only here in AZ for the month of March...but play almost every single day....so there are lots of options for games in general...but limited weekends! So, you have to take advantage when you can. Brian Greene had invited us out to the game, and planned the event since he knows I love the Angels. We went to the Angel stadium in Tempe...a mini-me of Angel stadium in Anaheim. They were playing the D-backs...which is the home team here in AZ...but there were definitely more Angels fans in the stadium. Tons of people that had come out from Cali. I love spring training because you are so close to the players....and it makes it a much more personal experience than going to a regular season game. The stadium is small....so every seat is amazing. The players talk to the fans throughout the game....you are just so close to them!! It is great! We had such a great time we started planning the next game...and hopefully get Brent & Alisa and the kids out too....except the weekends never worked out. :( Next year....we are planning ahead & going to a few....really did have a great time...and it doesn't even compare to the regular season...so much better!!
