For the second year in a row,\u00a0Real Men Don\u2019t Wear Small\u00a0<\/a>gets updates prior to the start of the regular season!<\/span><\/p>\n

I made my first-ever trip to Spring Training, down to Florida to partake in some Grapefruit League action, as well as see some Spring Training complexes.\u00a0 The first park visited was who else?\u00a0 The Braves\u2019 spring training facilities on the Disney complex in Orlando, and a game at\u00a0Champion Stadium<\/strong>\u00a0(They lost, of course).\u00a0 And then I headed south for a day to visit Port St. Lucie, where a visit to\u00a0Tradition Field<\/strong>, the spring home of the New York Mets awaited.<\/span><\/p>\n

Spring Training baseball was surprisingly more crowded than I thought it would be, especially considering my choice time of visit was within the final weeks.\u00a0 I naively expected it might not be as crowded, but contrarily it was packed for both games; at least until the starters began getting pulled.\u00a0 It was fun nonetheless, and I\u2019m certainly more open-minded in the future for future Spring Training trips.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
