Wow

Wow! In a just a few short days MLB will begin the 2011 season. We spent this weekend at the ballpark, not to see son play but just as fans of the game. It was a great weekend, great weather and the park was packed. I don't know how other teams do it, but the Cardinals allow fans to watch pre game batting practice and we also got to take in pitcher's batting practice, that was neat. A long walk over to the red fields (some of you have played PG events on those fields) you will find the minor league games going on, so the place is just bustling with activity. Saturday was fun as I got to watch my Marlins beat my Cardinals...lol. Today the redbirds played the Mets, not as many Met fans as I thought would be in attendance. It's been a tough spring for Met fans. I sat with a very successful business person today, I was impressed, yet all he could talk about was baseball and thought how neat it was that we had a son that played baseball. That really struck me as ironic, hopefully my son will be as successful in his career choice as this guy was in his. It's been a tough week and will be another for some players, as they set the MLB 25 man roster, and send guys back down, players are released, it has already happened for some, that's tough, that's business and sometimes that is just why decisions are made, no other reason, business is business. Son is still just tossing, and will be for awhile, so there isn't much to report, I ave afeeling he will be placed on a roster and remain in Jupiter until he is ready , it could be for awhile, have no clue, neither does he.
