Petco Park – San Diego (#19)
Padres 5, Giants 4 This is my final road trip of the year! And what better way to close out the season than with a 7 day, 6 night, 5 game California swing! After a 4 AM wake up in NJ and a connection in Chicago, I landed in San Diego a little before 10 […]
Kauffman Stadium – Kansas City (#18)
Tigers 6, Royals 5 Today was another early morning rise for me and another trip to the local Greyhound terminal. This ride was one of the shortest and most pleasant bus trips of all I’d taken so far. It was a straight shot across the breath of Missouri on I-70 with some really nice vistas […]
Busch Stadium – St. Louis (#17)
Cardinals 8, Nationals 5 I’m taking a break from Greyhound today and opting for the much more convenient and comfortable Amtrak. Leaving from beautiful and historic Chicago Union Station, the trip was a relatively quick 4 hours and really roomy, comfortable and scenic. I arrived in St. Louis sometime late-morning to blazing sunshine and mid-90s […]
US Cellular Field – Chicago (#16)
WhiteSox 6, Mariners 5 After an early morning walk through a deserted and questionable Milwaukee neighborhood to get to the Greyhound station and a short 2 hour bus ride (sitting next to a pretty strange dude who was mumbling to himself the entire ride and occasionally giving me the ‘stink eye’), I was back in […]
Miller Park – Milwaukee (#15)
Reds 12, Brewers 9 Day 2 on this leg of my journey started with an early AM short flight from Minnesota to Milwaukee. Before heading to the airport, I had the Uber driver take me to Chain of Lakes District in Minneapolis stopping at beautiful Lake Harriet to see the sunrise. I arrived in Milwaukee […]
Target Field – Minneapolis (#14)
Twins 3, Astros 0 We are heading into the dog days of August now with only 6 weeks left in the season and it’s pretty clear that I won’t be able to reach my goal of seeing a game at all 30 stadiums this season. But this is fine, it gives me something to look […]
Oriole Park at Camden Yards – Baltimore (#13)
Orioles 5, Mets 4 For this visit, we are taking an overnight road-trip about 3 hours south on I-95 to ‘Charm City’ and to the ballpark that essentially started the movement away from the ugly, bowl style multi-sport edifices that dominated the ’70s and ’80s – Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Joining me on this […]
Nationals Park – Washington D.C. (#12)
Nationals 6, Rockies 1 I am visiting Park # 12 today on this beautiful 78 degree sunny Saturday afternoon in our Nation’s Capital. Rather than drive I-95 and deal with the hassle of traffic and parking, I let Amtrak chauffeur me down in comfort. The whole trip was a little over 3 hours. With the […]
Marlins Park – Miami (#11)
Marlins 5, Giants 4 Today it was onto Miami and the final of my 3 games on this ‘South East Swing’. I probably would have preferred renting a car and driving the 4 hours south from St. Pete, but today’s game was a 12 noon start, so rather than hit the road at the crack […]
Tropicana Field – Tampa Bay (#10)
Indians 8, Rays 1 My next two stops on this trip are down in the sunshine state – Tampa Bay today and Miami tomorrow. I boarded a flight out of Atlanta at 8 AM arrived at Tampa airport around an hour later. I then boarded a Super Shuttle to my hotel in St. Petersburg with […]
