Sadly, I will not be able to make it down to Florida this year due to new employment. I am absolutely crushed. First time in five years I'll miss it.

I will probably be drinking heavily during the Spring Training period, most likely rum.

If nothing bad happens, I plan to go to the first home game on the 24th of next month. Can hardly wait.

Tempted to take an impromptu trip to Florida as this English weather is becoming depressing! I need sun, beer and baseball back in my life!!!

Those of you who are season ticket holders: Have you gotten a Spring Training presale code yet? I got an e-mail last month saying there would be a presale this Wednesday, but I have yet to receive any further info.

Nope, I think they are going through pre-sale for Manatees Season Ticket Holders right now....

Just got my tickets for 3/8. Last row right behind home plate. Can't complain, since they were free!

Anyone able to access the single game tickets yet?

welch · « **Reply #17:** January 19, 2013, 10:55:58 PM »

When do pitchers and catchers report?

End of the Redskins season, gloomy January / February, not yet time for the Senators/Nats. A long time. Reading Lawrence Ritter , "The Glory of their Times".

Mark Zuckerman has a countdown clock on his blog. Currently stands at 22 days and 19 hours until pitchers and catchers report.

Anyone going down before the games start? Took my oldest (along with my brother) in 2011 for his 16th birthday. Going again this year with my middle son turning 16. Really was incredible to be able to just walk around and watch the workouts. I'm not an autograph guy, but the access is unbelievable. Feb. 16-18 for us.

We're not going down until March...15-22...

RobDibblesGhost · « **Reply #21:** January 22, 2013, 09:38:42 PM »

Looking at going down on 3/15 via the Auto Train (found a GREAT fare), going to games on 3/16 and 3/18, spending some time with friends, then driving back towards the end of the week.

As a STH, I know I get free tickets to ST games, but it appears that that offer ended on the 18th (?). Does anyone think I'd have any luck calling my rep? I'm just finalizing my plans to go down and I didn't know that there was a deadline to claim the free tickets.

Worth calling your agent, the eMail is ambiguous at best, it just says presale ends on 18 January, no reason that should affect you getting the 4 tickets to one game that they offer STH for free....

Does anyone know if all Spring Training games are on MLB.tv for us out of market folks?

Yeah, I tried the link on the email to get the free tickets and then just got some kind of message like "event not found." I'll give my rep a call...
