Spring Training 1987

If you wondered what Bill Provax would look like fishing a ball out of the water with a parted down the middle hairdo, then check out the new vintage Spring Training Photos provided by Cactus League Boy Old Timer, Tom Provax. You’ll get a glimpse into the glamorous accommodations of old along with classic over-the-ball stances by Pete Abbatelli and our own journeyman BP.

Here’s a sample for you.

The Desert Moon


This was the view as we left the course yesterday. We had a nice dinner following at Tommy V’s. Doug made me laugh like an eight year old. Dinner was accompanied by two bottles of red. John had the braised rib; Bill had the spaghetti and meatballs; Doug had the fettuccine Bolognese: and I had the lobster ravioli and shrimps! Another day in the record books.

Crazy Ass Wind Today

We had a great time today playing golf. We all had our wins and losses.  The wind was like nothing we have ever experienced in Arizona before.

Golf Day 2, 2014: McDowell Mountain

Another beautiful day in Arizona. We’re playing first on, closest, and first in.

We are Off! This will be a Blast, especially without Gabe and Tom!!

The First Pitch of the Spring Training 2014 Season. More Fast Ball pitches on the way. BC was on time to the airport. JSG put my butt right next to the Damn engine. I can’t hear anything.

JC, Thank you for doing my work. I wouldn’t trust anyone else.

Can’t Wait! The Final Count Down is on!!

Coming Soon!!

Coming Soon!!

Scottsdale Weather Check…looking good!

Early Spring Training info and Expense Payment (UPDATE 2)

UPDATED INFO:

         I have added the car expense.  Please review the numbers and send me payment when possible.

         BP, you now owe me a small amount.  

This will be the majority of the costs.  So you only have beer, nourishment, and gas money to look forward to spending.

Tweaked the countdown clock to our Thursday morning take-off time!!
