Clearwater, FL - Craig, Sean and myself went to catch the Phillies-Blue Jays game at the Phillies ballpark. This is the nicest spring training ballpark I have seen to date, and that includes all the spring ballparks in the Phoenix area in the Cactus League.
We bought the lawn seats but scored some nice handicapped seats in the shade on the Phillies side of the field. Our scam lasted till the top of the 4th, when Sean attracted attention by grabbing a hot dog. We were promptly exposed and booted from our perch.
We took a stroll around the stadium, and this is one of the few ballparks where you can completely walk around it. We'd stop during the innings until we found seats in the 7th inning along the first base side. Jayson Werth put the Phils ahead 7-4 with a 3-run bomb to left, but the Phils bullpen gave up 3 runs in the 9th. They failed to score in their half and then the game was called tied, at 7-7. I began to shout refund, but to no avail. I knew they let some spring training games end in a tie, but I've seen them go at least 10 innings. Weak Otherwise, it was a good game with quite a bit of HRs.
