Preview to our trip

Hello all,

This is our first blog post of the summer, and we plan on being regulars on this blog. Some background on us, we are a father-son duo that have been planning this epic baseball trip for close to 12 years. The deal was when Jon graduates from college we would visit all 30 major league parks in one season. The year has finally come! We have the entire tripped planned and have squeezed some other destinations in the itinerary as well. We will also be attending the College World Series (if you have never gone you absolutely need to) and the Michagan vs. Alabama football game (go blue!).

We will be in Cleveland this Saturday and Detroit this Sunday to kick things off. Photos and updates will hopefully come with every ballpark we visit.
