August 14th – It is hard to believe that we have been on the road for just over 4 months and that we have already seen 29 ballparks! It has been a great journey and the Boston Red Sox provided us with a grand finish. Fenway is a great ballpark. We arrived in Boston early […]

August 7th –This was an evening game so it was more comfortable weather wise than the game at Yankee Stadium. This is also another team with a new stadium in its near future and the new one is being built right next to the existing one so as you are watching games you can also […]

Fenway Park Boston, Massachusetts Team R H E Tampa Bay Devil Rays 1 4 0 Boston Red Sox 2 7 0 Highlights If you’ve been following these synopses of the games we’ve attended this summer, you’ll remember that I recorded that I thought it would be difficult to top the excitement we witnessed at the […]

August 5th – Could not have had a hotter day for this game! It was an afternoon game and we were sitting the sun all afternoon. First disappointment was that although we arrived well before the start of the game, Monument Park was closed for the day by the time we got inside the stadium. […]

Shea Stadium Flushing, New York Team R H E Atlanta Braves 7 15 1 New York Mets 3 6 0 Highlights The Braves scored all the runs necessary in the first 3 innings as they closed the gap to 3½ games in the NL East and easily bested the Mets 7-3 in the opener of […]

July 31 – It was so easy to get to this stadium from where we were staying we were there much quicker than we had anticipated. Only problem was there wasn’t much to see or do in the immediate area so we just walked around the outside of the stadium and waited for the gates […]

Yankee Stadium Bronx, New York Team R H E Kansas City Royals 5 12 0 New York Yankees 8 8 1 Highlights The Yankees jumped out to an early 6-0 lead and despite the final score the outcome of this game never really seemed in doubt. The Yankees completed a 3 game sweep on this […]

RFK Stadium Washington, D.C. Team R H E Cincinnati Reds 3 12 0 Washinton Nationals 6 12 1 Highlights Nationals’ starter Matt Chico while utilizing a little luck pitched well enough to get the victory. He lasted 5 innings and had runners in scoring position for each of them but was able to escape damage […]

July 27th – We were a little worried about getting this game in. The forecast was for Thunderstorms but we went prepared – rain jackets and umbrella in hand. Fortunately the lightning did not start until late in the game. This is one of the few parks we have been to where I wish we […]

July 29th – Another weather threatened game. We arrived in Baltimore early and it seems everyone else did as well. We like to get there early to take pictures and walk around the outside and surrounding area. Here there were lines outside the gates 2 hours before they opened. We decided to follow the 60 […]
