I made it !
This was a long drive from San Diego, but worth it. The players were so accessible. My husband, the biggest Padres fan--EVER had the best time.
We went to Wal-Mart before the game and purchased some baseballs and a Padres pennant (for my husband, I personally am a Los Angeles Dodgers fan), and collected about 5 different players autographs before the game.
My only regret was that we couldn't stay longer and see the other Spring Training games.
