Baseball Games 3 and 4

Tuesday we went to our third baseball game. We met friends Rich and Cammy to see the Los Angeles Angels vs the Arizona Cardinals at Salt River Fields. Beautiful - perfect weather, and Gary had secured another set of great seats in full shade which I just love, since it is in the 80s here. The Cardinals looked really bad again and did not score a single run against the Angels. Since this is Spring Training, one doesn't know what to think. That being said, they used Roster players for the early innings of the game, and they should be able to score a few runs! The Angeles looked really good.

After the game we came to our RV so Rich and Cammy could see our "digs", and then we went out for pizza. Really nice to be with these good friends.

Yesterday we went back to Salt River. We circled the field to see everything. This is a REALLY nice ballpark! We saw the Colorado Rockies vs the Chicago Cubs. The Rockies looked great! They won 7-5. We had so hoped to see Michael Cuddyer who was the former outfielder for the Twins, and who was traded away to the Rockies, much to many people's sadness in the Twin Cities. He was a team leader and a guy who would play any position and do anything to help his team. He was also a very good citizen of Minneapolis. So Rockies fans: You got a good one! We have two more Rockies games to see, so hopefully Michael will play.

This is Dinger, the official mascot of the Rockies. He visited our section.
