The Arizona Fall League

The photo here is in Scottsdale. Earlier yesterday I saw a game in
Peoria.

A number of factors play into this being a baseball lover's paradise:

-gorgeous, always sunny, blue skies, slightly windy, 80 degree weather

-two showcase games/day of the best minor league prospects in baseball

-$6 tickets for seating ANYWHERE in the ballpark

-no crowds, meaning no overwhelming obnoxious Yankee or Red Sox fans

-fighter jets roaring overhead during games

-Snyder, Reimold, Matusz, and Wieters

-and no walkout songs, promotions, advertisements, mascots, or the
wave... Just baseball

It doesn't get much better than this.
