Jamsil (KBO) during spring training

My baseball craving was only very slightly sated by an emergency trip to Daejeon to see the Hanwha Eagles on Saturday 15th April, but that trip was rushed. Very rushed. So I didn’t have time to have much of a wander around what looks to be a very nice stadium.

I made sure I had plenty of time for wandering when I headed into Jamsil Stadium in Seoul for a Saturday spring training game – KIA Tigers at LG Twins. It’s a rather tedious and uncomfortable 2 hours on a very…

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…

2009/2010 MLB Season

Dear Ballpark Chasers,

Baseball is finally in the air, but it feels like just yesterday that the New York Yankees inaugurated their new Yankee Stadium and then beat the Philadelphia Phillies in the 2009 World Series. Yankee Stadium was not the only new ballpark to open last season, or in New York for that matter. Citi Field, home of the New York Mets, also opened its doors.

The Florida Marlins and the Minnesota Twins also had some exciting ballpark activity in… Continue

Goodbye Metrodome

As a native Minnesotan, I'm looking forward to the MN Twins' move to the outdoor ballpark. Target Field will be a major upgrade... minus the snow in April and October. (Yes- the Twins play in October sometimes...)

Here is a really good article that captures all of my favorite memories:

Target Field seats

Opening in 2010, Target Field will be the new home of the Minnesota Twins. Fans got a sneak peek at the new seats this weekend at TwinsFest. Despite showing off the traditional plastic ballpark seats, the Twins surprised everyone with the unveiling of new wood-back seats. This feature has not been used in a new construction ballpark since World War II!

Well done guys -this is a great way to bring back the classic stadium look.…
