Yogi is a National Treasure. Let's put him in a National Hall of Fame. The man has no peers.
I'll be in Florida the last two weeks in March, but on the other coast.

I'm hoping to go. I'd love some Legends Field tickets, but I'm not sure if they're all sold out. If I can't score some then I'll probably catch the closest road game they have.
Legends sells out almost immediately. The Phillies, D-Rays, and I think Dodgers are very close to Tampa.Originally Posted by DontHateOnNumber2
I remember going to Tampa for ST like 5 years ago, and along with Legends, I believe those were the place we went to to catch the Yanks.
88-58
9/17 - @ Baltimore - 7:05, YES
I live a couple of hours away from Tampa, I'll have to check the Spring Training schedule. I went with my father, friend, and girlfriend to catch the Yanks versus the Tigers in Lakeland and everyone had a great time. My dad isn't in to sports but he was really into that game. Unfortunately for us Kevin Brown started the game and gave up 3 earned in 2 innings I believe.
Here's the teams that make their ST homes in Florida and where they play.
Atlanta Braves at Walt Disney World
Baltimore Orioles in Fort Lauderdale
Boston Red Sox in Fort Myers
Cincinnati Reds in Sarasota
Cleveland Indians in Winter Haven
Detroit Tigers in Lakeland
Florida Marlins in Jupiter
Houston Astros in Kissimmee
Los Angeles Dodgers in Vero Beach
Minnesota Twins in Fort Myers
New York Mets in Port St. Lucie
New York Yankees in Tampa
Philadelphia Phillies in Clearwater
Pittsburgh Pirates in Bradenton
Saint Louis Cardinals in Jupiter
Tampa Bay Devil Rays in St. Petersburg
Toronto Blue Jays in Dunedin
Washington Nationals in Viera
Burns: I wonder if this Homer Nixon is any relation?
Smithers: Unlikely, sir. They spell and pronounce their names differently.
I'll be down there on business (2/16 - 24) so will probably stop by to catch the workouts.
I'm in. I have tickets to Legends 3/23 and 3/26. Tickets for 3/25 vs Tampa Bay at Al Lang Field in St Petersburg go on salethis saturday and I plan to get that game as well. I highly recommend it to anyone that will be down there on that day.
I cannot say enough about the DRays ST field. They claim it seats 6000 but they must be counting standing room and the berm because it feels like a high school stadium. If you choose to sit on the berm, you do not have access to the rest of the stadium but the seats are only $7 and you can sit within spitting distance of the Yankee bullpen. You can actually listen in on the conversation if you so choose. Another very cool thing is that you can shag balls on the sidewalk during batting practice. And if all that was not enough, the field is on the water and the view is gorgeous.
I'll be in Orlando from 3/24 through 3/26... I'd love to rack up a couple tickets to the game on the 24th (I'm aware that Fort Myers is a 4 hour drive, I'm jones-ing, OK)... I won't have time the other two days as I have other commitments for Saturday and Sunday. I called the Twins box office and they said they are sold out for the Yankees. However, if anyone has a better suggestion than STUBHUB, I'm all ears!
To seek the sacred river Alph, To walk the caves of ice
To break my fast on honey dew, And drink the milk of paradise
I wish I could go...Just not in the budget any time soon. Have fun everyone, and be sure to post pics if you can!
RIP AIDAN
I HATE CANCER!!!
Just got my last tickets for the game in St Pete. March cannot get here soon enough!
YEAH! I get to meet Nome! I'm coming down on the 5th and have tickets to the 6th, 7th and 8th. We're staying in town.
Let the kids play.
I live right outside Tampa and right when the tickets went on sale my mom was on the phone all day and it kept saying they were sold out but my friend's dad might be able to hook us up with some tickets from his buisness.

The honor is all mine, Andy. Besides, you're even older than I am, which makes you more distinguished!

I went for the first time last spring and it was fantastic. Sat 2nd row behind the Yankee bench... I believe I'll be going again this year too but I'm not sure which game yet.
“I mean, people knew that Brown was out there, and that Randy was ornery all the time. And Pavano is whoever he is. But if you’re their manager, you can’t go out and write about them like that.”
Bump. Anyone else beside myself and NOME going to be at games from the 5th through 10th? Just 2 weeks to go!
It's 20 degrees here, still plenty of winter weather ahead, and I'm going to be watching the Yankees play 2 weeks from today.....hard to comprehend.
Let the kids play.
Andy - PM is still off, so if we're not in contact this week I'll walk to your seat sometime during Monday's game.
Let the kids play.
Bob,
That's great. I have your seat numbers (I think) and I know you have mine. I'll have a beer waiting.
We leave Friday and will enjoy the beach for the day. If I thought I could have gotten tickets for their away games on Fri and Sunday, both are close to where we are staying. But five games is enough. And they are all sold out now anyway. I need time to Play. My wife also has two cousins in Orlando which we may visit on Sunday. For your info we are staying at the Holiday Inn Sun Spree Resort in Clearwater Beach.
You guys will really love ST so much I know you'll want toi make it a yearly event.
Have fun and we look forward to seeing you.
I'll be wearing a "Papa Joe's, Islamorada, Fishing Hat with a black Tennis shirt with a Corvette logo on it.

I know for a fact that a forum member by the S/N of "mr G" is already down there and plans on being down there for a month. He's a very knowledgeable yankee fan & a nice guy I met personally a couple of years ago at Y.S.
He'll probably be wearing a yankee shirt.

Thanks. That'll make it easy for me to find him.

Hey, I'd post his picture for ya, but I gotta respect the man's privacy, ya know! Okay, one more clue - he's from Jersey. That might narrow it down to a thousand or so.
Anyway, if you guys run into him, be sure you tell him Tex says howdy.
Edit: Seriously, I hope you guys have a great time down there.

I've got a Bronx-Bombers T-Shirt from the first Forum Party. I'll wear it and see if anyone recognizes it.
Let the kids play.
I wore mine to the stadium a few years ago and the lady in front of me said "Gee I know a guy who belongs to Bronx-Bombers....his name is Rich! Wexy!

It was probably that Russian gal he met.....I wore mine to the stadium a few years ago and the lady in front of me said "Gee I know a guy who belongs to Bronx-Bombers....his name is Rich! Wexy!

Half the people in Florida are from Jersey and another quarter is from NY.

In that case, I'll try to get there in the top of the first!
