Next post....2013

Hello chasers, its been a while. Had a wild 2012. Had a death in the family this holiday season, so christmas was an emotional one for us. I also enrolled in school, which takes a lot of my time. As a 49ers fan, the Super Bowl didn't go as I hoped, but, there's always next year.



The 2013 MLB schedule is out, and I am not sure how I feel about some of the changes. I personally like the old days with no inter league, though, I kind of think it's bout time the AL west has more… Continue

West Coast Baseball!

Just got back from a mini honeymoon vacation in California. We took up the bay area and saw in total 3 stadiums. We got to the airport, had a rental car waiting, which we had to fly to O.Co stadium for an afternoon game. Now here is a stadium like the city of Oakland, is not the prettiest of places. It is big and empty. The stadium use to be call the Oakland Coliseum and that is what it looks like. We had great seats, right behind home plate, however, it was 12:30 on a Wednesday afternoon...…

chasing parks til death do me part....

Hello everyone, its been a while...I hope everyone had a great spring training and we are all geared up for opening day this week.  Im still trying to score some tickets to the yankee opener or the day after, we shall see, but I downloaded my MLB app, and I am ready to start.

As for the engagement...it's going great, the clocks ticking and it'll be here in no time.  I mentioned before that the wedding will take up most of my time and money and might not be able to attend a ballpark,…

Happy Holidays and Beyond!

Hello Chasers, I want to wish everyone a happy and healthy holiday season!

I saw the 2012 season schedule for the Yankees, and I noticed that on June 15th, they will be going down to Washington to play the Nationals.  Great news is, if you read my other blogs, that was going to be our next trip.  But that exact day is our anniversary.  The big deal? We were planning on getting married on our anniversary.  Now, since we were planning to go to D.C. anyway, I thought we could go there…

One more

Hey friends, I know there is plenty of baseball left, but the vacation schedule is almost over. I would love to plan one more last trip somewhere. Financially, I am unable to travel to an MLB game, so I thought I would maybe drive up to Cooperstown to see the greats or maybe stay local and catch a minor league game, maybe Staten Island. I have o e more week off, but promised that with my family. If anyone has feedback, please.

Thank you, Rich

2012!

Okay, now I wanna share something with ya'll. I just got engaged, Hooray! Now the wheels are in motion, moving in, marriage, honeymoon, etc.  Most of my offseason will be busy.   Here's the thing, she's been to the 12 of 13 ballparks I have been to, the exception being Citi Field.  She supports and enjoys our trips, because they are not only a ballpark trips, we make them vacations.  I buy the tickets and hotels, she is responsible for finding other things to do.  Therefore, if we see a game…

Canada, Eh...

Now that I have gone to Toronto and the Rogers Centre, that leaves me with a total of 13 with 19 left to go. (I also included the old Yankee and Shea stadiums. That's why when you add 19 and 13 you get 32. I will not see defunct stadiums, though, will see future ones.) This time I was following the Yankees and came out with a victory. I feel it makes more sense to follow your team, than to go to a game and not cheer for a team or a team that you dislike. Canada is a beautiful place, polite and… Continue

Am I a Chaser???

Fellow chasers.



The season is half way over, I am almost half way done with chasing but, I want to know, am I a real chaser? Am I worthy enough, am I as dedicated as most of the people on this site? I have been chasing for 3 years and have seen 12 ballparks, not clearly enough as a lot of people. I don't drive from city to city, or sleep in my car or tailcate in the parking lot. Trust me I would love to. Its just a hobby I do for the love of the sport. I am a big fan of baseball and… Continue

What about winter?

What about Winter?!

A coworker of mine, who I should say has no imagination, nor creativity are talking and I mention this site.  He asks me what I am going to do when the season ends. Will I keep talking baseball? He is a Met fan but only when they're winning and doesn't really follow sports.

Honestly, there are excactly three things I can talk about, everyday, all day, all the time. Excactly three.…

first post

Hello fellow chasers, its about time someone thought of a site like t

his. I am not into facebook, though this is similiar. I am from New York City, a die hard Yankee fan and I have always wanted to do a ballpark roadtrip, but couldn't do if financially. It all started back in 2008 when me and my girlfriend were planning a vacation to Chicago and the Cubs were in town. I thought it would be cool to see a game, however, had difficulty getting those days off. That's when I realized Chicago… Continue
