More Fun with Friends

We attended our first Spring Training baseball game last week with Sue and David Astin, and Cammy and Rich Iverson. We were at Salt River Fields and saw the Colorado Rockies crush the Arizona Diamondbacks - something like 12-0. It was a beautiful day and Salt River Fields is truly a wonderful facility. What was even more fun was seeing two of our "own" former Minnesota Twins players play for the Rockies. Michael Cuddyer has been with the Rockies for several years now, and I believe that he has done extremely well for them. He is a great guy in every way. 

But now the Rockies scored another of our star players - the much loved and respected Justin Morneau who was, sadly, traded to Pittsburgh just prior to the playoffs last year. Justin got some great play time with Pittsburgh and a run at a championship. Of course that didn't happen. But then he became a free agent and signed on with the Rockies. Lucky them. He is the starting first baseman. He got two at-bats (maybe three) but didn't get on base. We will be following him throughout our time here and beyond.

Here is our merry band at the ballpark. Once again, I am sure David has some great photos (see my previous post below), but none with him in them!!!

This was the first game of the Spring Training Season at Salt River Fields, and all team members on both teams lined up on the field prior to the National Anthem.
