WWSB ABC 7: Orioles pitchers catchers report Wed

SARASOTA - The Baltimore Orioles are getting ready to start spring training in Sarasota. And despite all the games that have gone on trying to get this team here, the staff and players are ready to play ball.

Players have already begun to arrive, as pitchers and catchers will report for their first day Wednesday.

A lot goes into spring training. Not only do the players and coaches pick up and move...so does most of the Orioles administrative staff. And being the team's first spring back in Sarasota, there is a lot of work going on at Ed Smith Stadium to make sure the players feel right at home.

"We are absolutely thrilled. We couldn't be more excited to be coming to this community," says Orioles director of public relations Monica Barlow.

Spring training games begin in just two weeks, and the new team on the Ed Smith Stadium field will be the Baltimore Orioles. "Camp will be pretty big...a lot of familiar faces for fans and then a lot of the young and new guys as well," says Barlow.

The Orioles arrive at their new spring training home after leaving Fort Lauderdale, their spring training home for the last 14 years. And to get ready for their debut, the stadium has gone to the birds.

Caroline feeds a Tarpon at Robbie's Marina

February 6, 2010

I managed, after many attempts, to photograph a tarpon at Robbie's Marina, http://www.robbies.com/, 77522 Overseas Highway, Islamorada, FL 33036-3813, (305) 664-9814 – just as it opened its mouth to grab a snack from my wife’s hand.

http://www.robbies.com/tarpon.htm

“According to Robbie’s web site history: “Robbie and his wife Mona started feeding Scarface 18 years ago. Scarface appeared floundering in the shallow waters near the dock; Robbie saw the struggling tarpon and, thinking it had swum too shallow and gotten stuck on the bank, went out into the water to free it. He lifted the fish and saw that the right side of its jaw was torn open. Hoping to revive the tarpon, Robbie placed it in the oxygen-rich shrimp tank and called old Doc Roach. The doctor showed up with his wife's mattress needles and some twine, and Scarface became the first known tarpon with stitches. After several days of force-feeding, Scarface showed good recovery and weight gain; six months later he was released into the waters off the dock. Afterwards, Scarface continued to frequent the docks; sometimes bringing a friend. Soon more and more of the fish began to appear.

“Today, the tradition continues, with visitors from all across the world coming to marvel at the spectacle and offer these magnificent creatures a snack.”


The web site, http://www.robbies.com/, explains, “Robbie’s rests peacefully among coconut palms with shimmering views of the nearby islands where the unspoiled Florida Bay and the exquisite Atlantic Ocean converge. Cooled by the gentle trade winds, and cantilevered over crystal clear aquamarine waters, with a private sandy beach, one cannot help but understand why so many artists have chosen this place to immortalize in paintings. Robbie’s comprises quaint and discreet pavilions surrounded by lush tropical landscaping offering a taste of everything the Keys have to offer.

“An eclectic fusion of nostalgic Florida Keys understated elegance with the more modern conveniences of shopping for everything from beads to fine art and hammocks, and dining at eateries from sidewalk vendors to five star cuisine overlooking the water, in one of Islamorada’s most discreetly placed restaurants—even the most discriminating of visitors will find themselves captivated by everything Robbie’s has to offer…”

On our way to Key West on Saturday, February 6, 2010, we waited until we were on our way on the Route 1, known as “The Overseas Highway,” before we looked for a local place to eat.

The Overseas Highway connect 29 of the 200 islands we know as the archipelago, the Florida Keys.

The route was originally established as a railroad built by Henry Flagler. A horrific hurricane struck the Keys on September 2, 1935 and irreparably wrecked the railroad.

The railroad was replaced with the Overseas Highway for automobile traffic, which opened in 1938.

We found the Green Turtle Inn after traveling about 20 miles and thoroughly enjoyed our lunch.

According to the web site for the restaurant, http://www.greenturtlekeys.com/: “Green Turtle Inn Restaurant / We have been a Keys tradition since 1947 / Located at MM 81.5 Islamorada, Florida Keys / Phone: 305-664-2006 / Email: info@greenturtlekeys.com.”
