Live from the Press Box

Hey everybody! It's been a few weeks since I last wrote a blog so I'll fill you in on some stuff. I moved my office up to the press box at the stadium. It's a pretty cool view. The stadium is kinda surrounded by water. If you look straight out to right and centerfield, the Intercoastal Waterway and all the big bridges are right there. To the left of the stadium is a smaller river that runs along the main concourse of the stadium. Then if you leave the press box, right behind the stadium across the street is a harbor that is full of big sailboats. Something else that is cool is Bethune Cookman University practicing everyday from 2-5...makes the afternoon go fast. BCU is a Division 1 school that can relate to Wisconsin because that's where the Packers Nick Collins went to school. They have a catcher who is ranked #18 among college players in the country. It's cool to see scouts out here watching them practice and whatnot. We've still been going on the field during lunch to shag fly balls and whatnot. Once BCU hits the road we'll probably stay after work and use the whole field.

Other than that at work, everything has relatively been the same. I made my first sponsorship sale which is nice. Actually signing the papers tomorrow so I guess it's not technically official. We'll be working the BCU games and they start in a couple weeks. Not this Sunday, but the next is the Daytona 500. I'm pretty sure I'll get to go to that. Some are going to the Nationwide race on Saturday night but I'm working a BCU game that night so hopefully I'll get to go Sunday to the real deal.

Not much is different at the house or anything like that. Went to the beach last Saturday and golfed after that til it started raining. We just added another course with a partnership so we'll be able to golf at that one for $2. I shot an 83 two weeks ago, my best round yet. Dundon and TJ are coming down Thursday, March 3rd thru the 6th...pretty excited for that. Some others were talking about possibly coming down with them like Wagner and Modl. Hopefully the weather will be nice and we can get to the beach or golf.

It's now 2 months til opening day for us. Not sure if I said this in my last post but we open on the road at Brevard County on April 7th and our home opener is April 8th, which I'll be broadcasting. We should have a crowd of over 4,000 for opening day so that'll be awesome. I'm sure I'll be nervous but we'll be practicing long before then to prepare for the real thing.

Til next time...miss you all.

P.S...Go Pack!
