I missed the day on which tickets to the Red Sox spring training games at JetBlue Park<\/a> went on sale and those tickets go very quickly. So when I realized that I couldn’t get any JetBlue tickets I turned my attention to the CenturyLink Sports Complex<\/a>, the spring training home of the Minnesota Twins. While I am most definitely not a big Minnesota Twins fan, they do play the Boston Red Sox quite a few times each spring as they both have spring training facilities in Fort Myers. I was able to get onto the Twins ticket web site the day tickets went on sale and scored two games between the Twins and the Red Sox.<\/p>\n

The first one was on March 11 which is early in spring training. That means you see a lot of minor league players trying very hard to make it to the “bigs”. So I didn’t expect to see the Red Sox opening day lineup. But, worse, this was a “split squad” game – the Red Sox played a game at JetBlue and a game at CenturyLink on the same day. So there was probably one “starting lineup” player on the Red Sox squad – catcher Christian Vasquez. The Twins showed up with a full squad, including Joe Mauer, and crushed the Red Sox 13-0. So not a great baseball game for a Red Sox fan.<\/p>\n

But I got my first view of CenturyLink Park. It is smaller than JetBlue, but very nice. It has a quaint, turn-of-the-century look about it. And it was a bright, sunny day. So I had a good time watching the Red Sox getting drubbed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
