A little Salt and some Spring Training

[JestersHK]

Kierstin my oldest is heading off to college this fall.   She is a huge cardinals fan so we surprised her for her last spring break with a trip down to Florida to catch some spring training games. 

The players are great especially some of the younger guys.   We watched Jordan Walker sign for over a half hour,  and Nootbar signed for her and wished her a happy birthday. She and her sister collected 12 autographs over 3 games. 

I've snuck away once to fish but the ocean and wind didn't cooperate.  Going to head back out again tonight to see if I can find something salty to catch. 

Of you like cardinals baseball I highly recommend trying to catch a game.  I prefer it over going to Busch stadium and the players are allot more accessible.

That's pretty neat - I have always wanted to go to a spring training game or two, but I would probably go to AZ to watch the Mariners.

Got an Atlantic sharp nose tonight off a blue that I hooked deep which got designated for bait duty...

Jeff you should def go off you get the chance

I threw a white jig for over an hour last night 😀  the surf is really rough and the smaller bait fish have been scarce.  I'm headed to the Jupiter inlet today so I will def try there.

I need to try and make it down for some spring training games next year. Cari would all for it, we just need to plan ahead so she can put in her time off request soon enough. We'll be at Busch for the opener this year so I'm pretty stoked about that! Hopefully the weather cooperates for us.

@JestersHK In Jupiter go eat at Jetty's, good food, decent prices and sometimes bump into players.....

Wife and Kierstin will be there as well @Seth  

A family friend of ours is working his way through Astros Triple A.  He's going to get the call soon we hope that he makes the 40 man roster... He's a great guy and is a heck of a ball player. His draft year shot got pretty messed up due to the covid season,  but he's worked his tail off and is really close to crossing that last line into the MLB. Took the girls out after they went to the Astros game that evening.

And the season has started.  Got the DVR set to record the Royals today.

The Royals suck and so does their new owner .He is worse than David Glass. He wants to move the team to an area of town I wouldn't go to if I had a Seal team taking me. Plus he wants the public to fund the new stadium ,entertainment center to the tune of 2 billion dollars . Didn't mean to hijack this post.
