Spring Training is pretty awesome. I have a pretty good story from Spring Training 2005. My parents were living in Scottsdale so I headed out there for a week to play golf and go to Spring Training. About the 3rd day I was there we ate dinner at Maggiano's, which unbeknownst to me was hosting a party for the team. To make a long story short, I ran into Todd Wellemeyer, who I went to college with, and he introduced me to some of the guys (Glendon Rusch, John Leicester, Cory Patterson, Wood, D-Lee and some minor leaguers). The next day I found myself playing golf with Wellemeyer, Leicester, and some low level trainer whose name I can't remember. There's my Gabby story on Spring Training.
