Hello Everybody!

Glad to be among fellow ballpark chasers. I am 66 and starting visiting major league ballparks in the 1950s with my dad. One of the few benefits of old age (besides senior discounts) is that I got to visit many first generation ballparks before they were replaced by newer stadiums mostly during the 1960s and 70s. Sad to say I missed Braves Field and Sportsmans Park. I've since seen all the second generation ballparks and am now visiting the newest parks as they open up. Just saw games at Yankee Stadium and Citi Field and am planning my trip to Minnesota next summer to see Target Field. Current major league ballpark total is 63.

Comment by James M Kinsella (42) on July 10, 2009 at 8:26am: welcome MR SCHWARTZ 63 is a record that;s going to be hard to beat MY uncle is at 49 and I myself am at 42. We both started are chasing careers in the mid 1980s or so when we saw the couple on TWIB. They had a season where they visited all MLB and minor lg parks in one season I think it was 96 in all at that time. Been a hobby of ours ever since
