RIP Spring Training

Yesterday we went to the final Rockies spring training game at Hy Corbett Field. I think it's taken me two years to realize the unreality of these games. The veterans don't really care about wining or losing, they are just trying to get their work in to be ready for the season, and the rookies are trying to make an impression. It's best to just go and enjoy the day and the normally beautiful weather. After the seventh inning most of the starters are gone and the "who are they's?" take the field. For the visiting team, the big stars often don't ride the bus down to Tucson so you may or may not see the names. Ichiro rides the bus!
