OK, so I haven't hit up all 30 MLB Parks yet. I will, eventually. Like the economy, my travel plans have hit the wall....for now . But this past Wednesday was a little personal milestone for me. Having seen the Royals play the Angels in Anaheim this past Wedensday, 5/15/2013, I can now officially say that I have seen all 30 MLB teams in action live !!! Another one of these "so-called" baseball fans bucket list of things I can now cross off. And it only took me 31 years to do this…

Yesterday I wrote about having picked up a book titled The Baseball Fan's Bucket List. This book has a list of 162 things that we baseball fan's must see, do, get & experience. I'm sure most of you have already done a good number of the things listed in this book, such as Take a Baseball Road Trip ( Listed #1 ), Go to Opening Day ( Listed #3 ), and there's some things that some of us may never do, like Throw Out the First Pitch ( #139 on the list ) or Host a Minor League Ball Player (…

Hello all !!! It has been a long time since I have posted about anything here. I hope you've all had a good new year. I certainly can't wait for the baseball season to start. And we all know that the official countdown to spring training starts immediatly after the Super Bowl. As for the Super Bowl, it can't end soon enough for me especially with my 49ERS narrowly missing it this year.
Anyways, I hope you fellow ballpark travelers have your plans set for this summer. …
ContinueBASEBALL SUPERSTITIONS....NOT MENTIONING A NO-HITTER WHILE IN PROGRESS
Posted on February 28, 2011 at 7:47pm 4 Comments 0 Likes
I'm sure many of you know that baseball has many superstitions. One of those superstitions we are all aware of is that when a no-hitter is in progress players are not to mention it. But as a fan, do you believe in this theory while viewing in the stands or at home ?
Last season, I saw Vicente Padilla twice go past the 5th inning before finally allowing that first hit. Back in July against the Cubs, the fan next to me had the audacity to actually mention it and everyone in…

Hey man! Sorry for the delay, I meant to respond to your message earlier. Just wanted to say that I had a great time at Dodger stadium last month, despite the Giants losing both of those first two games that I attended. We suffered mostly some good-natured harassment, exactly what I expected. It was all in good fun, and we even had a surprising number of Dodger fans come up to us (we were all in Giants gear) and congratulate us on the Series, and a few even said they were rooting for us.
Anyway, thanks for your note -- it was appreciated. No hard feelings from that stupid incident, just a great rivalry! They all get out of control sometimes I guess.
Thanks for the tips man! I think we're going to try to Opening Day, and then Friday and possibly (but less likely) Saturday. We'll definitely be in Halloween colors, but I think I can handle it. I once went to a Phillies game with my then-girlfriend in a Bonds jersey, and people were throwing stuff at us as soon as we arrived and throughout the game. Considering it's the same state, hopefully Dodger Stadium is a little friendlier than that! Though I guess that'll depend on whether we try to sit in Left Field, or suck it up and get seats in upper deck. Probably won't want to shell out for lower deck seats.
I have a friend who lives in West Hollywood, so I think we'll be staying with him. He's a local though, so I think he'll have a better grip on traffic that I will. I don't even know what part of town the stadium's in! Thanks for all the tips though. Should be a fun series.
The Giants had a hell of a season though. It was so much fun to watch Lincecum pitch that my friends and I even picked up Lincecum wigs to wear to the game. And the Chad Penny pick up (sorry Dodger fans!) was fantastic — I really hope they sign him for next year. But the run support...man, it couldn't really get worse. If they can actually make some good off-season pick-ups, maybe the end-of-the-season Dodger series will actually be exciting next year!
