My buddy Jeff and I are planning a ridiculous road trip next summer to visit about 10-15 stadiums, including two AAA stadiums, in about a two week span.  Here is a list of the ballparks we plan on visiting:

1) St. Louis - Busch Stadium

2) Chicago - US Cellular Field or Wrigley Field

3) Cincinnati - Great American Ballpark

4) Detroit - Comerica Park

5) Cleveland - Progressive Field

6) Pittsburgh - PNC Park

7) Philadelphia - Citizens…

We have been regularly doing a ballpark trip every year, and this year followed the Nats out to San Francisco and San Diego.  Below are my notes from AT&T Park - Petco Park notes will be posted in a few days.

AT&T Park looks a lot like OPACY has been transplanted to the Oakland Bay, and this park certainly has the prettiest natural setting of any baseball park that we have seen.  It was particularly nice to get to the right field walkways and seats, as these have a terrific…

Many people remember their first Major League games or at least have some fond memory from their first game. I remember walking into the AstroDome for the first time on August 29, 1998 and sitting on the first base side as the Pittsburgh Pirates were playing the Houston Astros. I still have the promotional giveaway from my first game (and only game at the AstroDome) which was a blue "autographed" baseball that was very popular in the late '90's with the stamped autographs on them. I thought…

I found this video of the Marlins new ballpark. It's coming along!

The day began at 4:44am. Why at this time? Well, I love the number 44 and I had to get up anyways to catch a flight from San Diego to Phoenix. While waiting at the airport, I was observing a little boy with his mother and grandpa. I hear the little boy say, “When are we going on the airplane? How do they know our name?” His grandpa answers, “Because they have our money!”

Not surprisingly, I sat behind this little boy during the flight and started feeling for him as he was crying and…

Back for a third season is my series for my employer (I'm a tv photographer), KCRG-TV9, "Ballparks of the Midwest." The last two seasons I went and visited all of the Midwest League parks (our station is in Cedar Rapids, Iowa).

Now in 2011 we're expanding the definition of "Midwest" and hitting some other parks. One that is certainly in the Midwest, is the new AAA…

The tickets are printed, the itinerary is planned, the Red Sox shirts are washed and the caps are as dirty and faded as ever. Just how we like ‘em.

We head out to Philadelphia tomorrow to see what very well could be the World Series matchup. Since we…

Hello fellow Ballpark Chasers,

I believe this is my first blog post and well I'm looking for a little bit of help. As fellow ballpark chasers I know that everyone here can relate to me in wanting to take home a souvenir from each ballgame that they attend such as a souvenir cup, t-shirt, baseball, etc. I normally take home all three of the aforementioned items but what I always take home with me is a game program.

First off I'm looking for a program from the…

June 23, 2011: Attended the last game of the Mariners vs. Nationals series, a game that the Nats came into with a cool .500 record.  Here was their chance to break into a winning record, something they have not done since 2005.

The game went into the 9th tied at 0. Laynce Nix pinched hit for Pitcher Tyler Clippard and hit a sacrifice fly to left field scoring…

June 18 & 19, 2011: What's better than a baseball game on Father's Day? Spending the Father’s Day weekend with your daughter at the ballpark. 

Sofia and I spent Saturday and Sunday (mom joined us for the Father's Day game) at Nats Park to watch the Beltway Series. We had hoped to see the Nationals sweep the Orioles, but rather saw them split the games we…

Here's a fellow who is biking (bicycle) to all stadiums.  Wow. 

Friends and i are going on our 5th 1 week - 5 ballpark journey this year.

going to design some t-shirts but we need a group name of some sorts... any thoughts?

Ballpark Chasers is just too perfect and it is just hard to come up with anything that differently captures what we are doing here....

we have some time so just wanted to throw it out there for any other thoughts....

Sometimes work has benefits outside of a steady paycheck, excellent co-workers, and a stellar mission. Sometimes work takes you places on just the right day so you can catch a ballgame at a ballpark that you have never been to before. And on May 3rd that happend for me! I was in Hickory North Carolina, on a warm…
