Today has been a very good day. I'm sitting by the pool at the Phoenix Embassy Suites enjoying a couple of Cuba Libres. I got a bit of a sunburn watching the A's and Reds earlier today. Now I am getting ready to head out for a nice steak dinner. The perfect topper for this glorious day was this Pirate hedonist picking up this full opening day ticket for my beloved 1971 Bucs. I know its not vintage but it warms my heart. I fell in love with baseball in 1971 because of this team. As the saying goes you stay with who took you to the dance. I suppose you could call this my ticket to the dance
