I have been an avid baseball fan for my whole life, but have never made it to a Cactus League Game (spring training in Arizona). It is something that I have been looking forward to doing for years, but I had never made it a priority. Last Monday, that all changed. My buddy, Jim, called me and invited me to the Reds v. Rockies game at Goodyear Park. It was a blast!

The ballpark was beautiful. The spring-like weather was perfect for an evening game. We really enjoyed watching the game between the Reds and the Rockies. Jim and I had a wonderful time reminiscing about what we have been doing since High School in 1981. We even had a Cincinnati Skyline Chile Dog. It was not as good as you would get in Cincinnati, but it brought back some great memories of the game I saw in Cincinnati a few years ago.
Goodyear Park

Did I mention that the Goodyear ballpark is less than 5 miles from my home in PebbleCreek? I will definitely be back!
The whole experience has convinced me that I need to visit all 11 fields in the area. It will be fun to see how each team brings a little of their hometown flair with them. Yes, I will even look forward to visiting the local field of the Dreaded Dodgers. Hopefully, their Dodger Dogs are as good as I remember them. In an ironic twist of fate, they happen to be the second closest baseball venue to my home. I will certainly be cheering for whoever is on the field against them because that is the way this Giant's fan rolls! 😎
I LOVE BASEBALL! ! !
