It’s finally arrived. Almost. Nearly. Just about. The final game of the Great North American Baseball Road Trip is tomorrow (Sunday, August 23rd) at Marlins Park in Miami. Once the game is complete, I will have finished my (now) nearly three-month voyage to every baseball park in the major leagues to watch a game. In… Read more »
Could just as easily have said “Rays of dope”. I spend all week fretting about the Tampa weather and if I will be able to get my game 29 (Rays) in and I get there and see the stadium is domed. Yuh huh. I’m so not tuned in that I bring my raincoat with me… Read more »
Actually, it looks like it will be less than that. Based on the remaining bills trickling in, it looks like I will come in well short of my adjusted budget. So short, in fact that it will have run less than $1 per mile for the whole trip. In my last stopover, my friends were… Read more »
We bring you a double-header in today’s Great North American Baseball Road Trip blog post. First, we catch up with the Braves game from yesterday that ended so late I could not get to the post. Then we talk about the return to the GNABRT roots. In both cases, “home run” played a critical role…. Read more »
Finally. 50 years later, I get to watch my favorite team play at home. Funny how the Great North American Baseball Road Trip worked out. The last ball park before heading within spitting distance of home is the one I’ve wanted to go see since it was built (and before that, its predecessor, Memorial Stadium)…. Read more »
Though I got here with but a bare $27 of cash left in my wallet, today’s post is not about the outrageous tolls up here in the Northeast (though outrageous they be). This is my last northern stop on the Great North American Baseball Road Trip. I’ve had no accidents, no rainouts, great baseball and… Read more »
Yesterday’s Great North American Baseball Road Trip was a travel day, so it really didn’t need to be squeezed in last night. I may still consider another blog after tonight’s game, if time and energy support the idea. It was a long trip from Toronto to Georgetown, but not as long as originally estimated. What… Read more »
Owing to the post-1 AM arrival in Cleveland, yesterday’s blog appears today! The trip to Chicago for the Great North American Baseball Road Trip’s visit to Wrigley Field had many snarls and snags, none of which had anything to do with the driving, which was surprisingly painless. First on the list of mishaps was my… Read more »
And two games, too. Most people know that Minneapolis and St. Paul are called the Twin Cities (hence their baseball team name). We’ll get to more of that in the city section. I’ll also relate the exciting game from yesterday between the White Sox and the Blue Jays. And there’s a lot of Miscellany to… Read more »
Oh, so many ways that applies. Let’s start with the obvious and leave the rest for the Miscellany section. The Great North American Baseball Road Trip left for the Great American Ball Park, home of the Cincinnati Reds and this year’s All-Star game. It’s easy to see why the MLB granted them the game. The… Read more »
