Flew down to Tampa this morning for some training at the beginning of this week. My buddy Erik and his girlfriend Corey picked me up at the airport and we headed over to the Phillies game in Clearwater. We watched a little batting practice and took a walk around the stadium. Found our seats which were right above the tunnel where the Phillies players went on and off the field. Waited there for a few minutes watching some guys go in and out of the tunnel and a guy we grew up with in Lafayette, Eric Bruntlett walked out. He was traded from Houston to Philly this winter. We chatted with him for about five minutes - and Fassel put a hex on him (0-3 with 2 strikeouts and an error today.)
Also at the game was the golfer John Daly and some Hooters ball girls (pictures to come.)
Overall it was a good time to hang with Erik and Corey and we got to see some spring training baseball. I will try to get a photo album up later this week. Now, if I could have remembered to wear my hat...face is a little red this evening.
It is a super sports week for me as I am going to try and hit the Tigers game in Lakeland on Wednesday, an Orlando Magic game Wednesday night and the Big Ten Tournament on Saturday.
We had a busy weekend this week including my trip to Tampa. Two birthday parties yesterday in two different states - Ben and Libby. I am sure Ali will get some pictures up soon.
