Thanks for providing us with a glimpse into spring training, much appreciated, you provided some fun stories. Specifically, I appreciate any comparison to the Fonze & your heart attack chili dog. I’ll be heading out to see White Sox/Dodgers next weekend, anything you recommend?

I hear they’re looking for a new owner.

But since Craig said his wife would kill him for eating whatever the hell that was in the picture, methinks she wouldn’t be too enthused with the idea of going to that place.

The real question, Craig, is whether you got over to the Heart Attack Grill.

In 2001 I seriously considered vacationing in Phoenix to insure warmth as escape from the torturous northern winter. It never came about, and at the time it did not seem the baseball extravaganza that occurs there now based upon your expansive and reliable coverage. Good thing,too, because I may have become a real estate speculator, which would had led me to ill fortune.
Had also not been apprised of the effects of the dreaded horned toad, which could have led to my demise.
Subsequently national events caused considerable introspection and uphaeval to the point where even baseball crowned an ersatz champion, much to my chagrin.
Now is the time to re-think Arizona, however all external conditions prove that perhaps it is the only thing succeeding. After March, not much there, so I’ll see you in the Grapefruit League if you’re there next year.
Thanks for the insights.
