Why Mets Spring Training is something every fan should experience

There is something to be said about watching Mets baseball in February in 80 degree weather under the warm sunshine. It's a beautiful thing that everyone should get to experience.

I spent this past weekend down in Port St. Lucie solely as a fan -- no credentials, no interviews, no special treatment -- and I loved it.

I feel like for some there's this notion that you need to be a writer, part of a group going, or already in Florida to go and experience the Mets down at First Data Field, and this just isn't true.
