A Bad Surprise

The traveling road show made it's 2nd stop on the March world tour Tuesday in Surprise. Apparently no one got the memo that there was a game as only 3,900 brave souls showed up to watch some cactus league baseball. For the record that was 600 under the 4,500 over/under attendance number set by Dan before the game. The average age of the crowd was 68 and that's generous as it was probably even higher than that. Can't wait for the return trip Thursday to see the Royals, I'm setting the over/under at 2,500.
Since my back was to field most of the game as I edited the show the most exciting part of the day was batting practice. Specifically Sammy Sosa's cuts. He put one ball out by that red sign on the left side of the picture. More impressive was the ball he put into the parking lot just to the left of the scoreboard.

We're back in Peoria tomorrow. I don't know who's creating more buzz. Barry Bonds possibly playing for the Giants or the Wonger hosting his first Mariners Nightly, it's really too close to call.
