Bright House Field

What does the blogmeister do when Jays are out of town?
Of course find the nearest game...

Today my first trip to Phillies Spring HQ at Bright House Field. What a gem of a ball park. Bigger than Knology and more excellent features such as berm seating in the outfield and also formal picnic tables area in left field which include the food...... Have booked another eight games to keep me happy... including two night games which Jays do not have. One of the games will be a Legends game. Stay tuned for lineups...
Today the sight of old friends such as "Wild" Mitch Williams with great hairstyle, signing autographs on his salsa product. Phillies Jimy "one m" Williams and Pat Gillick.

Today Phillies were playing Tampa and friends believe me Tampa is a very different team this year, beware Jays. Many of last year's team but this team is built on speed.
Lead off Akinori Iwamora, major home run 2nd pitch today and next at bat great speed.
Two triples in the rain shortened game of only 5 innings but by end of 2nd Rays were 4-0 against a very good Phillies side.
Crawford triple also, that guy and Bartlett can really move.
The Diamond Outfitters store was as good as the Rogers efforts in Toronto and much better than Knology Park.
Could not resist getting a Phillies striped shirt for the eight games.
Game unfortunately called after five but the blogmeister enjoyed his seat in Row 1 behind Home Plate... first time ever.
Tomorrow back to Knology for the Twins and Jays. At this time I have not heard today's Jays result.
