Pacific Northwest 2013

Back from a very good trip to the pacific northwest. You could hardly ask for better weather or to see better pitchers. Saw Felix Hernandez pitch for the Mariners vs the Angels last Saturday. I also saw Mark Appel pitch for Stanford at Oregon and Mets pitching prospect Zack Wheeler pitch at Reno. The other Minor league stop (Tacoma) did not have a great pitching prospect, but it was the first time I saw Tim Stauffer(for Tuscon) who played high school ball locally (Saratoga,NY) pitch.

I…

Quick Question

Hey everybody, i just had a quick question. Last Year i made my way out to Chicago where i was about to get some cheap tickets to a white sox game that were in the upper deck. When i got to the stadium i found out that with that ticket i could not go to other levels to walk around. Are there any other stadiums where this is the rule so i can watch out for it in the future. Thank you everyone

30 MLB in 2013

I just graduated college and am trying to attend a baseball game at all 30 MLB ballparks this summer before I start working full-time. This is certainly a lofty goal but if I fail I will be well on my way to accomplishing the lifetime goal. Anyway I have already been to Turner Field this year (Final Four weekend) and have trips planned to the west coast, east coast, and Chicago area. I live in the Detroit area so I figure I can take weekend trips to Cleveland, Cincinnati, and Pittsburgh. I…

30 Stadiums in 55 days

I was just looking at the schedule and just for fun was looking at a time in the schedule where all the east coast teams were all at home this summer. Just for fun, I kept going through the schedule in exact geographical order around the country, basically the route you would take to see all 30 stadiums with NO backtracking. I thought for sure as I kept checking each team that I would eventually hit a point where one team would be gone for at least more than a week and it would put a snag in…

12 Stadiums in June!!

Hello, I'm brand new here (wish I found this site a few months ago) I am going my "Baseball Dream Trip" in June. I saved the money and got the time off. I have most of my tickets already.

Wrigley Field Renovations

Like many of you, I read the stories about the proposed Wrigley Field renovations today, and while I would miss the experience of seeing baseball played, more or less, the same way as it was 100 years ago without much in the way of advertising, video boards, and other on field promotions, I think these changes make sense for the Cubs.

 

It's interesting to me the negative reaction I'm seeing from alot of Cub fans. I've often thought, in many ways, a large number of Cub fans are…

The national pastime, not the regional pastime

These days I hear a foolish adage kicked around way too often: there's no reason to like baseball unless you have a team playing; it has no reason to exist outside of your local or favorite team! Your team or the mega market Yankees, Red Sox, Cubs, Dodgers, Angels if its not one of them!



No disrespect whatsoever to everyone here with team loyalties, but give me a break! If that were true, ballpark chasing would not be as fun, and this site wouldn't exist. All those rotisserie,… Continue

Baseball Bucket List

Since I've seen other people posting about this book, I thought I'd post my progress list.....

This list comes from the book "The Baseball Fan's Bucket List. 162 Things you must see, do, get & experience before you die." by Robert and Jenna Santelli. It'll take my whole life to finish it, but I'm working on it. (X)-denotes I've completed the action.

1. (X)-Take a Baseball Road Trip

2. (X)-Visit the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum (Cooperstown. NY)

Coors Field Seating Tips

I'm going out to visit Coors Field for the first time in September for the Red Sox series. It's the final homestand of the year for the Rockies. I wanted to see if anyone could offer advice as to where to sit? There's limited quantity for seats left through the Rockies, so I am trying to buy early (unless I find a season ticket holder willing to sell). I'd like to hear your thoughts on the best place to sit, or if the sections I was considering are good. The most reasonable ones left on the…
