| - Aaaaahhh, Spring Training in Arizona. The perfect opportunity to spend a sunny afternoon outside, enjoying America's Pastime.
I really like the Peoria Sports Complex, and not just because it is the home away from home for one of my favorite teams, the San Diego Padres. The facility is great for seeing a game - I don't think you can find a seat with a bad view of the action. Lawn tix are only $6, and if you become overwhelmed by the influx of families/small children you are free to roam around the entire stadium (and maybe score yourself a better seat!). Concessions are abundant and ladies, the restrooms are clean! Yeah!
What was especially cool for me on this particular Sunday was seeing Tony Gwynn, Jr. play - a solid Padre, just like his dad! I saw TG Sr. play many times at the Q/Jack Murphy Stadium - I was even there to see his number retired at Petco Park...
I had a great time soaking up some sun, enjoying a few cool Sierra Nevadas with my friend, AND the Padres won!
Words of wisdom from a roaming vendor:
"It's warm and sunny, it's not raining, enjoy a beer at Spring Training!"
