I took my oldest boy down to Astros spring training in Florida this last weekend, March 6 & 7. Saw the two games versus the Braves - one at home in Osceola County Stadium and the other away at ESPN Wide World of Sports.

It was the first spring training visit for both of us and we had a blast. He got a whole bunch of autographs including Hunter Pence, Kaz Matsui, Jason Castro, Humberto Quintero, Jose Cruz, Burt Hooton and more. Pence & Matsui even signed his glove. And we got to see Oswalt start. Good times.

Fun stuff!

Never have been to spring training. I’m sure it’s a whole different kind of baseball experience.

By the way, Trei, I thought you might enjoy this post from over at the Saints’ SBNation site:
