A Prelude to Spring Training

For the past several years some friends and I have started a tradition of going to Arizona to see some Cactus League games featuring the Cubs. It is a great time to get away after a long, dreary winter and it is a great atmosphere to watch baseball. The players are much for accessible, especially for kids, and you can see some of the up and coming players who may get a chance to reach the Bigs later in the season. Plus, all the stadiums are located within an hour drive of each other so you can take in a bunch of games without much effort.

Anyway, this year we are taking it to the next level. We are combining the following three key ingredients to our spectacular trip:

1) Vegas
2) Baseball
3) Final Four

Yep! We are going to Las Vegas the last weekend in March to see the Cubs play two games against the Padres and watch the Final Four in the cauldron of a Vegas sports book. Oh, and I am sure that a very large steak is going to be part of the plans. Go ahead, wipe the drool from your chin.

What...no annual Simon Final Four Party? Sheesh, the Jayhawks have a rotten season and look what happens! That's it...college basketball season is cancelled. Never mind that my Hoosiers are heading back to the tournament after a two-year absence. Instead of ignoring the kids by watching basketball all day tomorrow, I suppose i'll just watch the Care Bears movie instead. Alas.
