Spring Training

[familytoad]

I had a few minutes to report today:

Alice Cooper's place is pretty cool, full of memorabilia in sports, rock music, pinball machines, celebrity autos. Definitely worth a trip!

The Big Unit Hot Dog is the size of a little league bat. Nearby customers, party of 4 grown men...almost ate two of them, but gave up. They ring a loud bell when anyone orders it ! Quite fun.

The Kendrick Collection at the Phoenix Art Museum will blow your mind.

It's unfathomable to see these classic cards in such minty condition.
I took a lot of pictures, I don't know if I could or should show them all here...
I may share a couple when I get home , assuming it's not some museum rules violation.

The T206 Plank was my favorite.

I think I counted 41 cards on display. All in amazing condition.
I counted that I own 14 of those, but most of mine are POOR condition. Still, I was happy with that percentage.

Phoenix weather is amazing in March.

Spring baseball is different than regular season, but almost as fun. Seeing players wearing #97 for example...those kids must be in heaven playing alongside the superstars (if only for a month)...dreaming of when they'll have their own shot.

Prices for flights, rental cars, hotel rooms are rising to the point of real money.
If I keep this up, I will never get the other 27 cards
