Cataloging your chase

Hey Chasers,

One of the questions that hasn't been asked too often is, "How do you catalog your trip(s)" Most of us have photos, tickets, etc. But some have a quirky side as well, "I'm not leaving this park until I get a ball."

What do you do to catalog? What would you have done differently?

Keep the Quest going.

Comment by Rik C. (26) on June 18, 2013 at 6:36pm: One more thing - my older daughter (almost 13) collects keychains and my younger daughter (10) collects foam fingers. So we always get one of each for them when it is a family trip. My kids have a pretty good start if they want to be Ballpark Chasers like dad - both have been to 6 parks (Boston, Baltimore, Washington, Arizona, Chicago-Wrigley and Cleveland).

Comment by Kurt Smith on June 18, 2013 at 6:31pm: I keep ticket stubs (even if I printed them...boo), I get a stuffed animal from the team shop for my little one, and after the game I run through the good seats and look for discarded ice cream helmets. I usually find 5-10 of them, and then the wife eats ice cream out of them (yes, we wash them first!)

Comment by jvolks (19) on June 18, 2013 at 5:26pm: We like to get a stuffed version of each team's mascot and keep it on a shelf in our house. Surprisingly though many teams do not have stuffed version's of their mascot in their store. For example, Atlanta had a stuffed scary rabbit thing that we bought. We of course keep our ticket stubs and take lots of photos. I like the idea of a logo ball though as we get them at some of the museums we have visited; rock n roll hall of fame, coca cola factory.

Comment by Cathy Zavala on June 18, 2013 at 5:11pm: Trips to a stadium for a first time, I like to get ticket stubs vs online tickets. Pretty much I like ticket stubs unless it's a spontaneous trip. If I'm going to a stadium that had the Allstar game, I like to get an item that has their Allstar logo. I like to get a program and if I can some sort of unique item, such as a picture frame, book, and as a girl, I love finding unique jewelry pieces, such as the parachute cord bracelet made by women in Afghanistan.

Comment by Mark (53) on June 18, 2013 at 10:46am: must haves for me: pocket schedule, program, home team cap (if possible) and ticket stub (and of course plenty of photos).
optional: lapel or hat pin with team logo only if I like the logo; same with T-shirt.
former: souvenir cups (but gave up sodas so I don't do those anymore)
change: I think I would do logo balls over the caps. Caps are getting too expensive compared to the price of a logo ball.

Comment by Cam Cain (29) on June 18, 2013 at 9:52am: I definitely get photos. I always frame my tickets and try to get a ball if I can. Also, I make sure to buy something with the name of the stadium on it.

Comment by Rik C. (26) on June 17, 2013 at 5:24pm: I definitely get pictures and I check in on Foursquare and the MLB At the Ballpark app. The one souvenir I always buy is a logo ball because you can pretty much always find one. One thing that I surprisingly don't keep are ticket stubs - in the Internet age I usually just print at home and recycle the used "stub"
