SARASOTA, Fla. (WWSB) – While most retirees kick back, the Emmetts are still clocking in. Not for a paycheck but for the love of the game.
“I’ve spent every spring working concessions for the Atlanta Braves spring training at Cool Today Park,” Linda Emmet says.
Seven seasons later, the Emmetts say the real reward isn’t the work. It’s the people they meet and the joy on the faces of the fans.
After nearly 50 years of marriage and nearing a decade at the park, the Emmetts say their love for baseball and each other is continuing to grow.
