WOW, there are advantages to this job.

I'm actually thinking taking in some Major League Baseball this afternoon. The reasoning behind this departure from my normal routine is that the Marlins are in town to take on the Nationals today. I know that alone doesn't exactly scream "must see" but today's pitching matchup is a good one, with Dontrelle Willis starting against Livan Hernandez, thereby producing the odd combination of personal interest in a spring training game (very rare for me) and the ability to get out of the ticket office and sit down to watch a few minutes of early inning baseball (even more rare). When you work at a spring training site the games themselves lose alot of luster. Especially when, by the time you get to actually watch baseball, the field is full of guys wearing numbers like 78 and 67 who will no doubt be playing for the Savannah Sand Gnats by May.
