We drove up to Mesa, just outside of Phoenix, home of the Cubs spring training camp, to see a game at HoHoKam stadium between the Cubs and the Milwaukee Brewers. We sat in the right field bleachers and observed the new rookie right fielder, 30 year old Kosuke Fukudome from Japan. He did well in the field and at the bat, 3 for 3 including a homer. He will be a good addition to the team, and a rookie of the year candidate,
Kerry Wood pitched one inning, the top of sixth,and faced 3 batters, two fly ball outs and a strike out. What was amazing is that he did not get hurt.
We left at the bottom of the 8th with the Cubs losing, 6-4. The final score was 10-6, Brewers.
It was sunny and in the sixties when we got there and when we left at about 3:40 it had risen to the seventies. It was a fine day at the ballpark.
