Tulsa OK for Winter Baseball

I played my college baseball at Oral Roberts University in Tulsa Oklahoma. So come January 1st, aka the first day for professional baseball players to start baseball activities, I head to Tulsa. I do this because I have other players who are still playing to workout with. I also come out here to take advantage of the indoor facilities which are not available to me in my hometown of Sacramento.

Usually every year while I am in Tulsa the weather is off and on. Some days are 60 and sunny while the others may be 25. But like I said above the indoor facility comes in handy on those 25 degree days. This year although has been different. The horrendous ice storms that hit the mid-west have wreaked havoc with our outdoor activities.

The ice was so thick on the baseball field that the clubhouse guy from Minnesota actually brought his ice skates and skated on the field. He was able to skate wherever he wanted, centerfield to the infield dirt. It just did not matter the ice was 3-5 inches thick covering the entire field. I am sure it is something that i will not see anytime soon again.
