Turner Field – Atlanta (#9)
Nationals 6, Braves 1 On my flight out of Newark into Atlanta this morning, I sat between two over-sized gents who snored the entire flight. But nothing can get me upset when I am at the start of one of my baseball roadtrips. I landed in Hartsfield–Jackson airport around 10 AM and hopped into a […]
Great American Ballpark – Cincinnati (#8)
Rockies 5, Reds 4 Today is Memorial Day and the 5th and final stadium on this roadtrip. Despite feeling awful & rundown in Pittsburgh , I got up at 3 AM with only a few hours sleep and walked to the Greyhound station to make my way back to Ohio. I boarded a 3:30 AM […]
PNC Park – Pittsburgh (#7)
Pirates 9, Mets 1 Day 4 of this roadtrip and another early start for me with a 5:45 AM bus out of Cleveland to Pittsburgh. I slept a good deal of the trip and for the parts where I was awake, I had a really nice conversation with a man sitting next to me who […]
Progressive Field – Cleveland (#6)
Indians 2, Reds 1 Day 3 of the roadtrip started with a super early morning 4:30 bus ride out of Detroit. I was honestly bracing for the worst since Detroit + Greyhound + 4:30AM rarely equals anything good. But, while the bus had its share of seedy characters, the trip was uneventful. Within 30 minutes […]
Comerica Park – Detroit (#5)
Tigers 6, Astros 2 Day 2 on this trip takes me back to the states. My mode of transport from Toronto to Detroit was a plane so small, it essentially was a station wagon with propellers and wings. I was sitting so close to the pilot that I could both hear and smell him pass […]
Rogers Centre – Toronto (#4)
BlueJays 8, Angels 4 The first roadtrip on my journey started today – north of the border in Toronto. I’ll be visiting 5 parks in 5 days on this swing. This is my first trip to Toronto and it is long overdue. I’ve been to Montreal over a dozen times in my life and have […]
Citizens Bank Park – Philadelphia (#3)
Mets 7, Phillies 4 Game 3 of the journey was actually a Mother’s day gift to my friend Diane from her son Luke. Luke’s ‘gift’ was to have me buy tickets for us all to see the game! It was actually a picture perfect Sunday afternoon for baseball and I was happy to buy the […]
Wrigley Field – Chicago (#2)
Cubs 1, Brewers 0 For stadium #2 – the choice was easy. In my opinion, no ballpark more embodies the essence, spirit and history of baseball more than Wrigley (apologies to Fenway and Yankee Stadium). Opened in 1914 (two years after Fenway Park) , Wrigley provides a connection to the game as it was in […]
Citi Field – New York (#1)
Mets 2, Phillies 0 There’s no more fitting way to start my ‘journey’ than on opening day in the home ballpark of my favorite team. It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been a fan or how many games you’ve been to, attending a game on Opening Day is a very special and unique experience. The […]
