Coors Field Denver, Colorado Team R H E Atlanta Braves 6 6 1 Colorado Rockies 2 10 1 Highlights Luck was somewhat of a factor in this one—good for the Braves & bad for the home team. You figure that if you out hit the opponent nearly 2 to 1 you should win the game, […]
Special thanks to Ken Helgeson for the great seats we had for this game. For those who don’t know, Ken was a former boss of ours at NYNEX in Maine who now lives in the Kansas City area. We met Ken for lunch at a great Bar-be-que restaurant in downtown Kansas City, MO and had […]
Kaufman Park Kansas City, Missouri Team R H E Chicago White Sox 4 8 0 Kansas City Royals 4 10 0 Highlights This one had the makings of a classic pitcher’s duel with each team sending its respective aces to the mound. Both the White Sox Mark Buehrle coming off a no-hitter in his previous […]
Lots of hitting but mostly the wrong team. Rangers lost making the record – Home teams 3 and Visitors 2. We sat in the belcher section for this game. These seats were right next to the Ranger’s Bullpen. We each received a Texas Rangers Baseball cap as we entered the stadium – that is why […]

Today we did some sightseeing in San Antonio. We started at the Alamo. In 1836 the Alamo occupied the grounds and buildings of the former Mision San Antonio de Valero. Used as a military post since the early 1800’s, the Texans had barricaded opening and mounted at least 19 cannon before the 13 day siege. […]
What a great park! We arrived in downtown Houston early enough to walk around downtown and the park. From the outside of the park you can see the Minute Maid Express Train on the Left Field wall. Before the game there was lots of activity as well. First, 5 Harley Davidson motorcycles rode around the […]
Minute Maid Park Houston Texas Team R H E Florida Marlins 3 9 0 Houston Astros 4 8 0 Highlights This was kind of a tit for tat contest with the Astros scoring a run in the bottom of the 4th and the Marlins answering with a run in the top of the 5th. Then […]
