Gotta love this time of year. I live in Winter haven, Fla. where the Indians train. We also have the Tigers in Lakeland and the Braves in Kissimmee both are less than 30 min. from my house. One of my sons highschool coaches is the stepson of Charlie Manuel, Manager of the Phillies. Last year I go to watch a practice and Charlie is setting in their dugout. I don"t know who was more shocked, the kids, or the parents.
This year, Matt Diaz of the Braves has been working out with the team. Also, my oldest son is in his Freshman year of college ball and my second son just accepted and signed to play with Daytona Beach Community College after his senior season and my third son, a sophmore will start baseball as soon as his basketball season ends.
I love this time of year.
