It’s become sort of an tradition over the years to head over to the gulf coast to watch the Phillies, in their green, on every St. Patrick’s day. This year was no exception.

Despite the scoreboard only showing 81 degrees, it was a very warm day in Clearwater. The crowd of 10,816 was a record attendance for Brighthouse Field. Even though the Toronto Blue Jays won the game, 7 to 6, it was a great time anyway.

On March 17th, I had the pleasure to travel to Clearwater, Florida where my beloved Philadelphia Phillies were taking on the New York Yankees for a Spring Training game. It was a gorgeous day and as is tradition with the Philadelphia Phillies on St. Patricks Day, they wore green uniforms. These jerseys will be auctioned off later in the year with the procedes going towards ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease).
