Over the past few years, this even has made stops in my hometown. It’s always a fun even to attend and hear a little bit more about the players, current and future, on your favorite teams as well as hear some great stories from the broadcasters and former players. It’s also fun to see the players interact with the fans but more importantly the little kids.

Last year, I got to see Randal Grichuk … before he became a household name to Cardinals fans! He was awesome and so attentive with the fans. It was really fun! Before that I had gotten to see Tyler Greene, Pete Kozma and Lance Lynn at Caravans.

It’s a great event, so if one is coming to your area next weekend, try to make some time to head out to the event and see some of you favorite players. Getting the chance to see Michael Wacha, Kolten Wong, Matt Adams, Carlos Martinez, Trevor Rosenthal, Marco Gonzales and Randal Grichuk will be awesome. It’s just before Spring Training and will really get you in the mood for the 2015 season! … As if you needed more of a reason!
