Rare Morning Post

It's 8:15 a.m. and I'm still in my hotel room for a change. After waking up before 6:00 a.m. for the past few days, this is a much-needed break, although it means the beginning of the end of Red Sox Fantasy Camp. We have one 3-inning game against the pros today at 12:30 p.m. at City of Palms Park, which should be a blast. We'll spend most of the day hanging around the ballpark watching the other 3-inning games before and after ours. At 7:00 p.m. tonight is the awards banquet at the hotel.

Last night we took our coaches out for dinner at a Mexican restaurant close to the hotel. We were split up into two tables, one with RJ and one with UL. We sat with UL and listened to his stories, including him being on base when George Brett hit his famous Pine Tar homer against the Yankees in 1983. UL had singled to center with two outs and the Royals down by one in the top on the ninth inning, with Brett on deck. Here's the clip:
