Here's a quirky thing I started doing at the ballgames I go to...

My son and I always compete to see how many triple peanuts we can get out of a bag at the games we go to.  There was a game I went to without him so I took a photo of my triple to send him in the name of good-natured taunting.  

Here is a collection of my triples since that time - hope you enjoy!

Time for 49

45 MLB ballparks under my belt, twice in my life I've been to all current. 4 more makes it 3! Flying out to Minneapolis, New York then Miami to make it to the round number of 49... Looks like I'll have to wait for Atlanta's opening in 2017 to make it to 50. Wave if you see me!

Oakland

Chaser places to go would be a little bar at Jack London Square called,"Heinolds First and Last Bar. You can drink your beers outside in the sand patio and the bar itself is one of a kind.. Fun super little place and not all that far from the stadium.

Arizona Diamondbacks, July 19

I am planning on the Diamondback game on July 19. Is anyone else available to join me? I am travelling by myself to Phoenix. I also need suggestions for where to park (are there shuttles?) and if it is possible to move from 1 level of the stadium to another. Some stadiums, such as White Sox and Dodgers, you cannot get from 1 level to another. Most stadiums you can move levels, and if by yourself usually can upgrade to a better seat. Also is Stubhub/Ticket Monster, etc., the best place to get…

Love going to the park

I have been to 22 of the 30 current MLB ballparks but have enjoyed the national past time at 38 parks. Huh?, you ask. I have been to 1096 regular season or playoff games (I don't count spring training) and have retained the ticket stubs for all of them. Some of these games are at stadii and parks that are only memories or if you're lucky, these sights of ancient gatherings have a marker, a plaque, or part of the structure still standing. Montreal's Stade Olympique , the Houston Astrodome,…

Exciting August Trip

I am excited to be going to three ballparks in three days with my Dad: Detroit, Cleveland, and Pittsburgh. It will be great time with my Dad and I will get to cross off three new ballparks. I used a ton of useful info from Ballpark Chasers to plan the trip.

Dad and Young Son Chasing Ballparks

Hey Everyone.

I'm just getting started here, and have plans to start a blog of my own about all things as a stay at home dad. One part of this blog is the quest my son and I am on to visit all the ball parks.

We don't plan on doing them all this year, or the year after. We hopefully have a very long time to complete our quest.

I used to travel on business before my wife and I decided to have kids and I started to stay home to raise my family. Usually when I would visit a new…

Down the Home Stretch

We have 23 out of 30 MLB parks in the bag now. We take a Jay Buckley trip next week and will get 5 more.

As a souvenir we get a team mini bat. We have no appropriate wall space to hang them so I made a rotating bat rack. What do you think?

Chicago Icons

The field may be new, but the team, of course, is not. My son Frank and I have been to several games at Wrigley, but we’ve never been to US Cellular Field. My boyfriend John and his daughter joined us for this chilly spring game.

We drove all day to make it to Chicago for a 7:05 game on a Friday night. I was a little anxious about our arrival time due to…

Chasing A Ballgame In Cartagena Colombia

Just got back from a vacation to Cartagena. What a great trip. I figured some folks here would find this interesting so I thought I'd share. I'll try to keep it short and let the pictures do the talking.

One of the highlights of the trip was chasing down a game somewhere in Cartagena. I knew going down there, their winter leagues at the stadium were not going on. However, I had read about street ball leagues that play on Sundays (for many their only day off) and was hoping to catch a…
