A Cactus League game between the Giants and Padres in Scottsdale, Arizona

Further evidence that life can indeed be very good…I am spending several days in Arizona, attending spring training games.  Warm weather, major league baseball,  (expensive) beer, (expensive) ballpark grub, good companionship, and the occasional ballpark organist all add up to quality vacation time.  I will be in the bleachers for a week or so…

Until then, let’s play two!

Count Basie plays “Did You See Jackie Robinson Hit That Ball”

From “Live at the Lighthouse,” the Modern Jazz Quartet play “Baseball.”
