# Spring training - Link: https://mywalkabout.net/spring-training/ - Published: 2017-03-01T13:46:00-07:00 - Author: My Walkabout This isn’t a story that will hold you captivated on the edge of your seat. It’s more of a journal entry into the diary of my life. Spring baseball training is here again in the desert.[](https://i0.wp.com/mywalkabout.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/4ec65-img_8274.jpg?ssl=1) My good friend CJ is a huge baseball fan, has been his entire life. It’s rubbed off on me. I usually only go to one Spring game each year, and this time around is was at [Hohokam Stadium](http://mesaaz.gov/things-to-do/hohokam-stadium), home of his beloved Oakland A’s, against my favorite team the Angels.[](https://i0.wp.com/mywalkabout.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/30bea-fullsizerender2b2.jpg?ssl=1) Ironically, we went to lunch at Mambos earlier this week, a local Dominican Kitchen in Chandler. The DR is home to many a professional baseball player, and on this occasion several came in to eat while we were there, the most famous being Angels player Albert Pujols.[](https://i0.wp.com/mywalkabout.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/1087c-fullsizerender2b3.jpg?ssl=1) I sit behind home plate with a burger and a beer, listening to the crack of the bat and the pounding of leather as the ball hits the glove.[](https://i0.wp.com/mywalkabout.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/b15fe-fullsizerender2b4.jpg?ssl=1) Sunday afternoons in the Spring are best spent this way, at least I think so. ### Share this: * [ Email ](https://mywalkabout.net/spring-training/?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20Spring%20training&body=https%3A%2F%2Fmywalkabout.net%2Fspring-training%2F&share=email) * [Post](https://x.com/share) * [Share on Tumblr](https://www.tumblr.com/share) * [ WhatsApp ](https://mywalkabout.net/spring-training/?share=jetpack-whatsapp) * [ Nextdoor ](https://mywalkabout.net/spring-training/?share=nextdoor) * [ Threads ](https://mywalkabout.net/spring-training/?share=threads) * [[ * [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) * [ Reddit ](https://mywalkabout.net/spring-training/?share=reddit) ### Like this: Like Loading…
