    After a tremendous 14 plus hour road trip to Fort Myers on Sunday, a Monday to remember at JetBlue Park, I figured a mellow Tuesday in Southwest Florida was in order. Thus, Rachel and I took the roughly 1 hour trip south to beautiful Naples, Florida. Naples, according to my Dad (a 30 year resident…

    A Road Trip South To Fenway South aka JetBlue Park, Boston Red Sox Spring Training

    I have been traveling to Fort Myers, Florida for about 30 years or so. I started visiting this Gulf Coast spot back in my college days circa 1990 – 1994. My father lived and worked in the Fort Myers and Fort Myers Beach area of Southwestern Florida, so it was a no brainer to spend…

It’s MILB affiliates in Maryland include the Delmarva Shorebirds, the Chesapeake BaySox, and the Frederick Keys. Their former affiliate, the Aberdeen Ironbirds is now a member of the…

    A few mornings ago, I was walking the track at a nearby recreational facility here in Virginia Beach. The track is roughly 7/10 of a mile long and I managed to walk the circumference 3 times, as I am building up my mileage this year. After the first lap, I spotted two baseball players, perhaps…

The temperatures in Winnipeg in February, on average and according to online weather sites, are quite frigid and the landscape is mostly snowed over fields, streets, and parks. Flying into Winnipeg, I looked…
