For those of you on the fence about it - come to spring training. Seriously. Whether you’re kicking it on the lawn with a mustache pretzel or sitting behind home plate listening to A’s assistant general manager and director of player personnel Billy Owens talking baseball with scouts, there’s something to love for everyone. The price is right, and you get to experience A’s baseball in an intimate way that you simply cannot at the Coliseum. Plus, you get to say hi to me - a win-win!
While I spent the first couple weeks of the spring taking care of schoolwork and trying to find my bearings in the Cactus League, this weekend I was able to sit down and take in all three home games at Hohokam Park.
