From the Diary of Bernie Brewer: Spring Training Home Opener

Dear Diary,

Today, I went to my very first Spring Training game in many, many years! It was so very exciting!

I got to go down on the field before the game and even sit in the dugout!

I met all kinds of very cool Brewers fans and saw a lot of familiar faces, too.

When Ryan Braun hit that home run early in the game, I was so excited — but there’s no slide at Maryvale so I improvised: I slid down the big grassy hill on the berm instead (and I’ve got the grass stains to prove it)!

Of course, I was also so happy when we won!

After the game, I got in a little Spring Training of my own:

Can’t wait to return again tomorrow!

GO BREWERS!
