...my son went to Bright House Networks Field (Spring Training Home of the World Freaking Champions) for a baseball clinic with former MLBers. Spring Training was still going on, but this was an away game for the Phils.
For the first hour, I stayed in the stands...then as my son went underneath the stadium for a batting cage lesson with Mark "Hittin'" Whiten and Mike Devereaux, I decided to check out the field that I have spent so many springs at.
Carson and Kevin Bass - diggin' the rainbow stripes.
The man who hit 4 HRs in a game and Mike Devereaux. I figured Carson was in good hands here, so I decided to wander.
The weight room is very, very close to the underground batting cages.
Saw this interesting chart on the wall.
...back to my son and Mark Whiten...
Hmmm... there's no one there... I've never been in there before... maybe I'll take a seat...
Sitting in the dugout...
"The Phone"
Hey, there's a little room here behind the dugout...
What's in that room? Cole Hamels', Mike Schmidt's and Ryan Howard's ass has touched this.
My son still there? Yeah... he's good.
Hey look - Campy...
There are numerous other pics of my son with fringe major leaguers, I won't post those. Just neat to see the guts of BHNF. I went through the whole media area underneath the stadium as well. Not really very exciting. I found a huge stack of programs- - they were year 2000 spring training programs. I couldn't figure out why they were there -- the Phillies changed stadiums after 2000 - yet they brought old programs? Weird.
