Game Dates Set for Blind Baseball Traveler 30-30 Tour

Days after I wrote the update to my 30 ballpark, 30 day plan, things began to finally come together. I had to make a final set of schedule alterations, but the blind baseball traveler is now 55 days from the ultimate baseball dream.I’ve managed to also make arrangements with a few teams so far to see the field, particularly in the outfield where the ballparks have their personality or lack thereof.Seats for all but four teams have been purchased, with the Cubs, Nationals, and Mariners to come…See More

30 Ballparks in 30 Days

In early November, I wrote of the proposed 30 ballpark 30 day tour I would take in 2012 and the added unique aspect of who I am as a blind fan. Before I go into the latest details, I did want tips from someone n contacting a publisher, because I did want to write a book as well.  Mine would focus on the travel experience, the accessibility to things in and outside the park, and the experience using local public transit or the lack thereof in some instances.  Any tips are much appreciated. I…See More

Multiple schedule options are being evaluated, the ultimate plan that I select is going to be largely impacted by start times of each game, to minimize travel difficulty, as where possible the travel between ballparks will be via bus… Continue

Good afternoon, this is Reggie, a new member of this very nice website.



One of the great things about baseball is the ballpark, every place has a different look, different feel, different sound. All parks look different, seat colors, outfield fence alignment, view of the areas beyond the park....Different sound, some have organists that each have a unique style (they all should), PA Announcers, chants from the crowd....Different feel, how the wind blows through some places, others… Continue
