An interesting start to the season

I haven't been to an MLB game yet this season. Extremely hard to believe. The weather has something to do with it, as does the sorry state of my New York Mets. I've also kept busy by "coming out of my baseball retirement". I am playing vintage baseball in the Coltsville Vintage Baseball League. We play 1860's rules that include playing bare-handed. Yes, with a hard ball. Check it out at the Friends of Vintage…

It's a sad day for all baseball fans with the passing of a true legend, ambassador and hero, Bob Feller. A few thoughts and photos can be seen on my blog in "Mourning the Passing of a Baseball Legend".
Honoring James "The Orator" O'Rourke at the Ballpark at Harbor Yard

If you are in the Bridgeport, CT area, it's worth a stop to the Ballpark at Harbor Yard and check out the new statue to James "The Orator" O'Rourke. A great tribute to the long overlooked Hall of Famer. You can read more about the Unveiling and Dedication of the statue at my blog, The Baseball Stadium Connoisseur.
Inaugural Baseball Hall of Fame Classic
Posted on July 7, 2009 at 6:48pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
I attended the inaugural Hall of Fame Classic in Cooperstown on Father's Day Weekend. It was a baseball fan's dream. With the likes of Bob Feller, Brooks Robinson, Ferguson Jenkins, Paul Molitor, Phil Niekro, Jeff Kent, Bill "Spaceman" Lee, et al, there were the makings of a "classic" weekend. I almost forgot to post a link here to my blog entry. If you're interested, check it out at Roger's Baseball Blog.

- Yeah sorry Roger, I think I confused you with another ballpark chaser. As you may have seen I am writing a novel in here that will rank the ballparks. I sent out and received lots of them sent back with their 1-30 rankings of the ballparks as they stand this year. If you are interested in continuing on with this, you will receive credit fo helping the book rankings out.. Everyone's rankings will determine what the 1-30 stadiums will look like by combining them all together.

Ken Lee (30/43) said… - Hey Roger! I am headed to Citi Field on June to see the Mets vs Rays on the 19th, was curious if you can tell me where at the park the big Homerun Apple is so I can get a pick of that. Thanks!

- The Quest is complete (for now)!!! My 39th stadium, Nationals Park, completed the quest to attend games at all of the 30 active baseball stadiums. The bonus was getting to see my Mets defeat the Washington Nationals 4-3. Delete Comment

- Well this last weekend was one to remember. Saturday we were on hand to witness Pedro and the Mets through a combined one-hitter, the 33 in Mets history (I’ve seen several of them) against the Rockies. The question is will the Mets ever throw a no-hitter? Time is running out at the big Shea.
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.

- I've actually seen games at 38 MLB parks so far. The only current one left is Nationals Park. I've also seen games at several minor league parks, Doubleday Field in Cooperstown and even the Nagoya dome in Japan. I've even played catch on the Field of Dreams.
