Spring Training Day Two 3/9/07

We were expecting to get a lot of autographs today. We got to the ballpark at 11:30 for a 1:05 game. The five of us decided to wait near the Angels dugout for autographs. Brian got lucky early by getting Angel great Booby Grich to sign a baseball. We were able to get a few autographs but there were mostly from players trying to make the sqad. I got nothing….

The game was exciting for a few innings because the Mariners, won the game 14-2. Our seats were down the first base line. We were not as close like Friday but we were in the shade for the entire game. There was a bit more cloud cover compared to Friday and that made increased the humidity a tad but it was still great baseball weather.

After the game, we upgraded our rooms to the fourth floor of our hotel. We knew from past experience that a few baseball players stayed on the fourth floor of our hotel. The upgrade included a free mini bar and a free continental breakfast in the morning.

After that, we met up with Tim’s sister and her husband Mike who lived outside of Scottsdale. They fed us and we relaxed at their house for a few hours. On the way back to our hotel we went to a mall called Arizona Mills. It was basically The Block of the Phoenix but indoors. So, that was the end of day two. With one more day to go, we were optimistic that our fortunes would turn…
