I helped open the Wide World of Sports and worked the first baseball game they had in the stadium. While helping move a table into the Reds locker room, I opened a door and hit Dion Sanders upside the head with it. If I had only known he was on the other side, it would have opened much harder...

It was 8 bucks to get into the complex back then but up to 14.50 now for adults. Call 407 939 GAME for the ticket office and they may be able to tell you what you can and can't see.

First homerun I saw there was by Greg Maddox in batting practice before that first game against the Reds.

I like the Joke in Lakeland better as it has more of the old time spring training feel to it.

May go to a few Orioles or Pirates games this year as I am over that way now.
