It has been quite an eventful year since I signed up for Ballpark Chasers last year. I have been visiting out of town stadiums off and on since 1985 and while my count steadily climbed, I never completed all parks in MLB.

This year, on August 18, I completed that goal with a visit to Safeco Field, the last place I hadnt been. With that game, I have now visited all 30 parks in MLB and 36 in total, including those that are no more.

I had a very aggressive travel schedule this year, and I am kind of shocked I completed 99% of it (out of 99 scheduled games, I made 93, not bad), and i completed another milestone back in July, when I visited my 100th park, including minor league and independent leagues.

It was quite a journey this year, and it will be interesting to see where next year brings me. Lots and lots of minor league parks to go, fo sure.

Now that the season is winding down, I hope to get reaquainted with this site and all it has to offer. The info here is invaluable when planning a trip, and I thank those who keep it up to date. Thank you very much.
