I lived in Phoenix for about 12 years. I moved there to be close to my daughter and my grandkids. I also went there because it is home to many trucking companies, and that was my profession at the time. I always followed my Dodgers, and I went to a few spring games at Camelback Ranch once they moved there from Vero.
I got to see Manny and Kersh, and many others. I met Rick Monday and had a nice little chat with him on a lazy Sunday afternoon about 2 weeks before the 2009 season began. When I first moved there, I drove for a company out of California and hauled loads between Arizona and California.
