The Miami Marlins Welcome You!
New signs. New colors. New logos. New paint. New people. Jupiter is buzzing with anticipation and excitement as the Big Leaguers mark their arrival in the perfectly landscaped town. Spring Training officially begins tomorrow and this is the place to be. Two teams share the $28 million complex: The 2011 World Series Champions St. Louis Cardinals and the newly renovated, revived, and renamed Miami Marlins. This might just be the craziest spring Jupiter has ever seen. Already, fans come in dozens to occupy the small perimeter they're allowed to watch from. Actually, there's not much to see from where they're standing - just the door that all the players exit out of - and this is exactly what they wait for. Pens, paper, and memorabilia in hand, they spend a good amount of their day waiting for their autographs. These are some loyal fans. I've never seen anything like it. And I have a feeling that I'm about to be blown away by what the next 5 weeks bring. The Big Boys take to the field tomorrow, while the minor league boys start March 4th. However, Adam got invited to a pitching camp that begins on the 24th of this month. Come Friday, this household will change dramatically, and I think finally, I might just be ready for what's ahead.
I got my Marlins BP cap today and it is very cool!
