I lived there for four years in the early 90's and loved it. Summers are hot and humid, lots of t-storms and an occasional hurricane, but very enjoyable. Sports fields and complexes are everywhere, great golf courses, and the best beaches in the world - sugar-white sand. Fishing on the continental shelf is incredible, and the night life (if that's an important component) is great with outstanding restaurants and lively nightclubs. They even have a pro hockey farm team!! It's also the place where every Navy pilot gets his/her wings. Try the Naval Aviation museum at NAS Pensacola for some great aviation history. As I recall, their baseball programs are well-organized from t-ball up through MSBL. Plenty of opportunity to call games at all amateur levels. Enjoy!!
