Today Bryan is feeling better and we decided to go to a baseball game. This time of the year is spring training for the major leagues and there are numerous teams in training down here. We went on the internet and found that the Chicago White Sox were playing the Los Angeles Dodgers at the new Camelback Ranch ball park. The game started at 1:00 but not realizing how popular these games are, we planned on arrived close to the time the game started. Big mistake, there was a long line up of traffic trying to do the same thing, and by the time we parked we had quite a hike to the stadium. Not having purchased tickets in advance, we still needed to find a ticket booth, fortunately there was a person selling seats just outside the entrance. We got our tickets from him, paid $5 less each than we would have at the ticket office and ended up with great seats, about 6 rows up on the first base line. We never saw any grand slams or home runs, but the game was fun to watch and it was a great way to spend an afternoon. Spring training is a big thing here in Phoenix, there are 9 stadiums in and around Phoenix with 16 major league baseball teams training in what they call the Cactus League. People travel from all over to watch their favorite teams or to take in as many games as they can. We talked to one lady who drove in from San Diego for the weekend and she told us that she sometimes watches up to 5 games in a weekend.
