Here is the starting line
up for my Rangers versus the As in Mesa for our first game of Spring
Training in 2025!

Not a bad seat for this game against the lowly A's at their ballpark.

My Ray-Ban Meta glasses captured this picture of the Rangers at bat.

We met up with a friend of mine who is a Dodgers fan at the Rangers
Spring Training Practice Facility in Surprise the next day.

I am playing catch with myself at the Rangers Practice Facility in
Surprise here.

Confirmed! I caught it for the out! LOL.
Spring Training is where an adult can be a kid again!

Backup SS Nick Ahmed is signing balls here.

He signed a ball for me too.

We had our usual great seats behind home plate for the White Sox at
Rangers game in Surprise, AZ.

Rangers President Chris Young was walking around the ballpark so I got
to meet him.

We got an afternoon treat at Bikini Beans in Tempe after the game.

They are working hard on our drinks!

We are having dinner at a great Mexican restaurant in the Happy Valley
here called Salt Tacos & Tequila.

I was able to get a drink and some dinner at the Chase Sapphire Reserve Lounge by TheClub at PHX before we left.

Spring Training 2025 was quite epic as usual. We had a total
of six guys there in 2025 as we took in the Rangers games, had some
great food, got our usual coffee drinks at Bikini Beans throughout the
Phoenix metropolitan area, and even enjoyed the eye candy at Ojos Locos
for St. Patrick's Day weekend. Oh yeah, we partied in Tempe
too for St. Patty's Day! Hey! It's a guy's trip after all so nothing wrong with some eye candy viewing. LOL.
