We made our 2nd annual trip to the sunny warm clime of Arizona for MLB Cactus League Spring Training. Brett joined us (because he cried). We had a great time. One of the highlights was seeing Ken Griffey Jr with the Seattle Mariners. We also saw some old-timers at the Scottsdale Stadium and got signatures from Bob Feller, Dave Kingman, Gaylord Perry and Rollie Fingers. Bob Feller talked with Gary about Salt Lake and Joe Buzas the owner at the time they moved from Portland. He was sharp as a tack and very personable. Both of these events turned out to be really impressive when Ken Griffey Jr retired from baseball later in the season and Bob Feller died at the age of 92 in December (2010). What a great way to get some much needed rays after a long winter and enjoy our favorite pasttime! (3/2010)
