Sporty Suzy lives!
The sun was sunny again in the Sunshine State, and I learned that the Toronto Blue Jays do their spring training in this very town (actually, it’s spring training central, since the Phillies and the Evil Empire also train nearby). And anyone can go and watch them practice!
So Sporty Suzy came out of retirement in her retirement community. It seemed like forever since I’d seen any baseball, and we all know about the disgrace of the NHL. No sports for Suzy since the surprising, and brief, World Series. So it was high time for Sporty Suzy to get her sporty fix.
So here they are, warming up. I was hoping Alex Rios would give me a kiss, but alas, I just got a smile. And my sporty fix.
It wasn’t my beloved Giants, but it was gooood.
Advice from the catching coach: “Balance is key. Keep your feet under you.”

If you’re anywhere near Lakeland, FL you *MUST* go and see the Tigers and ogle my beloved Brandon Inge (#15 – plays 3rd base) for me!!! No sports for me until April 4th – the Tigers Home Opener!!!! I’m so geeked!!!!
It makes me laugh though to read about Sporty Suzy since I remember I Hate Sports Suzy!!!

I think Florida is second only to Arizona for spring training. We used to go watch them practice just about every year when I was little… in Fact, I think the Giants train in Scottsdale, so were most likely seen by us a couple of times.

Wasn’t it like a year ago when you were asking us what does one wear to a baseball game?

Karan, it was two years ago! Doesn’t time fly? It seems to go faster the older I get.
