For me, this week was the first time I have ever been able to go to Spring Training. Over four days, I went to two games and experienced all there was to offer.
The first night I was there, Saturday, March 25, I went to dinner at a fast food place in Peoria near the complex. As I sat down with my food, in walked my old high school baseball teammate Jordan Cowan who last year played 43 games in Advanced-A ball in the Mariner’s system.
He was with a pair of teammates, second baseman Donnie Walton and third baseman Nick Zammarelli, and we all talked for about 15 minutes.
