11 Ballparks in Five Weeks.

[gwynn_fan]

Instead of using the Timeswear, this year, "She Who Must Be Obeyed," is driving me and her sister on 6,000 mile or so road trip, to help with my bucket list of visiting every Major League Ballpark. We're going to visit every team in the AL & NL Central Division!
And, on the way home, stopping Coors's Field in Denver, to check that one off.

I have been to a few of the central parks, but the sister in law hasn't been to any, so we'll get to see old favorites in St Louis and Chicago. We have been hitting a few parks on vacation before, but this will be the long and tiring one. So far, I been to Petco (and Jack Murphy,) Chaves Ravine (and the LA Coliseum,) the Big A, Oakland Coliseum, SafeCo Field, Wrigley Field, Guaranteed Rate Field, Busch Stadium, Rogers Center, Fenway and Orioles Park at Camden Yard.

Anybody have any suggestions of what to see, food or have tickets they don't need for the days were going, LMK Bob

Enjoy, Bob!! Try Fitz's in STL, best burgers and homemade soda!

Fitz's Root Beer

Famous for our Fitz's Root Beer floats, shakes, and malts! They are BIG, they are GOOD, and they are FUN! Grab a straw, spoon, and napkin, and enjoy yourself!

In Wrigleyville, go to Murphys Bleachers, my best friend frequents their establishment, and is friends with the owners!

That's great! Have you been to Minneapolis/St Paul before? I'm happy to help you with any suggestions on local flavor. Who knows, might be able to make it to the game myself.
Cheers,
John

Well, transferred planes there once. Same with Detroit.
This should complete visiting all 50 states.
Thanks Bob

Hi
Have found you get the best deals for tickets using Tickpick.com; as they don't stick you with additional fees. I think the ballpark app, only beat them twice where even with fees, they were less then tickpick.
Sitting behind home plate in most the games. Prices have gone from $9 seats in KC to over $90 to see the Cubs.
The game I am of course looking forward to most is the Aug 25 game in Milwaukee. Hope to see the Padres win on the road.
Bob

Hi Guys
First game in the books! Royals beat the hapless Mets 9 to 2. The guy i wanted to see the most, Bobby Witt Jr, went 3 for 4, with a walk, a stolen base and a walk. Drew Waters hit a 3 run homer, while Brady Singer went 8 Shutout innings.
Francisco Lindor provided the Mets only high light, hitting a 2 run homer in the ninth.
Highly recommend a visit to Kaufman Stadium. It is beautiful, with the outfield fountains, the Royal Crown scoreboard and the impressive Royal Hall of Fame!

Kauffman is a GREAT stadium, loved it! Bobby Witt played great the night we were there too! Glad it was a great game!! Safe travels.

Spent about 2 hours at the ***** Baseball Museum and barely scratched the surface. One of the two sad parts of Baseball history. The other being the DH.
Have arrived in St Louis, for another game with last place consequences, Rockies and Cardinals.

 

[kclj520]

One of my favorite places in one of my favorite cities!! I LOVE the NLBM! GREAT photos @gwynn_fan !!

Enjoy STL, another of my favorite places but hey, it's close to home!!

Cheers!!

A busy day in STL...

Hoping to get to get to the game early tomorrow. Important game to who'll get the first round pick in 2024!
Also, giving away hats and want to see the Cardinals hall of fame.
Couple more pics from the ***** Baseball Museum!
