Two bags and a carry on




Packing for Spring Training is rather stressful for me. It can be really tricky, because at any given minute during the season they can put you on a plane to play for another team in the Dodgers farm system. If you have more stuff than two bags and a carry on then you will have to leave it or...ship it. Some of you might say well that doesn't sound so bad, but imagine all the clothes, baseball gear, bats, books, bibles, computer, toiletries, shoes, basically everything you need to live on for 6 months, and fit it into those few bags. It becomes an art and by the time you leave it's a beautiful one at that. Zipping that last bag shut last night was such an incredible feeling since it's finally happening. The stress of "what am I going to forget" or "what am I going to have to leave home" is now over. It's so freeing. Now the only thing left before Spring Training...is the 17 hour drive over the next 3 days to get there! Road trip....1-10 for as far as the eye can see, what do you say now!!!!

This must have been hard to do after living at home during the off season and having access to all your things. We enjoyed having you at Staubach Retail during your off season. Play well!
