Spring Training - Butcher - 12-02-2008
1. Anyone know when the Spring Training schedule comes out?
2. Is anyone going this year?
I'm planning on going -- probably for a 3 or 4 day weekend. Spring Training is the shizzle.

Great atmosphere, amazing weather, the players are really laid-back and accessible, you can sit on the lawn for $4, you get a chance to see some minor leaguers, other stuff.
I have a lot of family in Arizona, so that's a plus for me. My cousins live about 2 and a half miles from Hohokam -- which makes it a relatively cheap trip for me. I use their car, eat their food, sleep on their bed...
Plus, it helps ease me into the season. Because by the time February rolls around, I'm jonesing for baseball again.

I all fairness, you probably have relatives in every corner of the earth. Not to mention the ridiculous numbers of in-laws dotting the globe.

We went last year, it was a lot of fun. Flights were expensive as shit, though. Might do it again this year.
