Sorta Starting Over

Good Evening Friends and Fellow Chasers,

After visiting all current MLB parks and over 120 minor league parks my son and I have come to realization that over 80% of those games have been seen without having our favorite teams present. Over the next couple years I'm going to go back and visit some of our sites and see the stadiums with our teams (Rays is John's and Phillies is Kaelen's) and their affiliations. Does anybody feel the same way, or starting over because it's been done…

Heading to AT&T Park

This weekend, the family and I are taking in our fifth Major Leaue game, when we watch the Giants host the St. Louis Cardinals. Can't wait! It should be a great day for some baseball. And, as a life-long Cubs fan, go Giants!

Slow but steady progress towards the big 30

After 5 annual trips, we're now up to 23 out of 30. This year, just the two opening days Houston and Phoenix, maybe a bit more in September. Next year we'll try to do the five remaining East Coast cities--Detroit, Toronto, Cleveland, Cincinnati, and NY Yankees. After that, just Seattle and Kansas City. Our plane from Chicago to Dallas stopped in Kansas City for 30 minutes--does that count? :) My son just turned 15, and miraculously, he is still speaking to me, sort of. One more year is all I…

2012 Trip

I forgot to blog the trip of 2012. My son and I did SFO to Denver to Milwaukee to Baltimore to Boston to New York to Pittsburgh to Chicago to Minneapolis to home in SFO again. 8 games in 8 cities in 8 days! Whew! Everybody asks how to set up intense schedules like that, but it's really just getting all the schedules next to each other and seeing which cities have home games, plus which cities have free or at least cheap flights between them, then stringing them all together. Probably old hat…

I'm doing a northwest trip in June, with games in Helena, Great Falls and (via Glacier National Park) Missoula, Montana, Spokane and Pasco (Tri-City), Washington, and Boise, Idaho.

Also will take in games at Lakewood, Rockland County, and the renovated PNC Field (Scranton-Wilkes-Barre) and New Britain Stadium, all of which I've been to…

2013 Trip Planned - Washington and Baltimore

This year our trip is to see the Nats v. Mets at Nationals Park and Orioles v. Red Sox at Camden Yards.

A couple of years ago I don't think I would have been too excited to see the Orioles or Nationals but if they are as good as last year, this should be a good trip. I have already been to Camden Yards and got to see Eddie Murray hit his 501st home run. I can't wait to get back and show my kids - I absolutely loved the ballpark experience there.  I think the boys will love the Babe…

Back to the West Coast in 2013

Greetings from the Infrequent Blogger! Last year, 2012, was a banner year for me in that I visited three parks I'd never been to before -- Turner Field, Petco Park and Dodger Stadium. At this rate, I should make it to all the parks by sometime in 2025.

This year, by contrast, I have only O.co (Oakland) Coliseum on the docket a a new ballpark for my list. However, I'm doing a repeat visit to Rangers Ballpark in Arlington (last there in 2011), and also to AT&T Park in San Francisco,…

WHITE SOX

One of the greatest sounds...the sound of ice sloshing around in a cooler full of beer...on the way to work, but only for half of a day - Opening Day for the Sox!
