If your travels take you to Denver, just down the street from Coors Field, is a museum that you MUST see. It is the National Ballpark Museum. It boasts an impressive collection of ballpark memorabilia that is more comprehensive than any displayed elsewhere. It is a must see for all Ballpark Chasers as well as anyone else interested in the history of baseball ballparks.

Sunday marked the return of the multi-city day/night doubleheader. First it was off to Citizen’s Bank Park in Philadelphia to see the Phillies take on the Diamondbacks. Met killer, Pat Burell, hit a 3 run homer in the bottom of the 8th to help lead the Phils to a 6-3 come-from-behind win. Then the race was on to Shea stadium to catch the Mets hosting the Rockies again. This time Mike Pelfrey pitched a gem and with the help of Joe Smith combined on the second of back-to-back shutouts. The Mets offence produced 7 runs, a welcome surprise. Now to the All-star break.
