good vibrations

welcome to legends field, where the magic of spring training baseball dissolves under a cloud of NYC... $7 to park, $5 to eat, field hard by dale mabry blvd in tampa, home to some of the country's "best'' strip clubs... nothing says "wholesome spring baseball'' like strip clubs... if you want a player to blush and do a 180 away from you, just say "mons venus''... most places down here, media parks and eats for nothing... it's not a big issue, until you jokingly gripe to the parker about paying 7 bucks and he says, in his best brooklyn, "quiet or I'll make it $14''... god bless new york.... as for the good vibes, they fairly burst from new reds ownership...tom williams 1 day, bob castellini the next... they seem truly excited, enthusiastic and committed to winning... these are bright, determined folks w/a passion for what they're doing... if you've read me over the years, you know I'm not prone to gushing, but I've been very impressed w/these people... with any luck, it will be good to be a reds fan again, soon...
