Florida Day 7

 WOW!  Can our Florida tip be ending so soon?  Just 1 more full day, then we fly home.

Today we decided to visit Tiger Town in Lakeland to watch the Detroit Tigers practice.  The gates opened at 9:30 am, but players did not come out onto the field until after 10 am. On the right is a nice picture of Miguel Cabrera walking out, and a later one (bottom right) when we watched him take batting practice. 

The whole practice seemed to be rather laid back.  It had some structure as the players spent about 30 minutes each on a few drills, but overall the atmosphere was rather loose. It was very spread out across several practice fields, but we had many of the main players practicing on the field in front of us (Miggy, Spencer Torkelson, Austin Meadows, and Jonathan Schoop) along with others.  No player names or numbers on jerseys, so it was hard to tell who was who!  

At 11:45, practice was breaking up so we headed out for lunch at Five Guys and the drive back to Treasure Island.  Nothing planned for tomorrow, except the dreaded packing session.
