Tallahassee, FL 02-21-11

 Tonight, our Jefferson County Seminole Club took a tour of the FSU baseball stadium, named after Dick Howser, the former FSU and major league coach.
 The lights were turned on and the grandchildren got to run the bases.
 Lynda is keeping an eye on Savannah Lee, who....
 can't go anywhere without her puppy.
 Getting some information about FSU's baseball equipment from Chip Baker, Director of Baseball Operations for FSU.
 The scoreboard after all the lights have been turned out.
 We then took a tour of the tradition room.
 This is where they recognize our All-American players with plaques.
Some of the baseball awards FSU has gotten over the years. 
 They have a special display for Buster Posey, the most decorated player in college baseball history, and now playing catcher for the world champion San Fransisco Giants.
A display in the locker room. 
 Another uniform display.
 The members of our Seminole Club with Chip Baker.
Chip is showing us the treatment room for the ball players. 
Here, Chip is demonstrating on Emily how players get a hot wax treatment for injuries. 
 She said it didn't hurt at all!
 The grandchildren posing in the baseball weight room.
 Chip talks about weight training techniques.
 Another view of the weight room.
 Some cardio equipment for the players to use.
 Mike, standing in front of one of his favorite player's locker, Mike McGee, number 25.
 Neil, standing if front of Jack Posey's locker, number 5.  He is the younger brother of Buster Posey.
 Dillan, in front of Jack Posey's locker.
 The trip to the ballpark was followed by a visit to Dairy Queen.
Nothing like toasting blizzards! 
Ryan and Savannah Lee checking out the fun.
