Had heard a lot about the Mall of America so we had to make a trip there as part of this visit to Minneapolis. It is huge with over 520 stores, 50 restaurants and the nation’s largest indoor amusement park and more. We enjoyed a couple of hours walking all 4 floors and had lunch. […]

Metrodome Minneapolis, Minnesota Team R H E Milwaukee Brewers 11 15 0 Minnesota Twins 3 4 1 Highlights Each team hit a pair of long balls in this contest with the difference being that the Brewers having runners aboard while the Twins efforts were solo shots. The left fielder for the Brew Crew, Geoff Jenkins […]

Thursday, May 31 – Another great baseball park! About 10 years ago we attended a Mariners game at the old Kingdome and it was at that game that we first started talking about making this trip. Safeco Field is a great place to see a ballgame. We also had the best hotdog yet here – […]

Safeco Field Seattle, Washington Team R H E Texas Rangers 5 6 1 Seattle Mariners 9 14 0 Highlights The Mariners scored early and often as they sent nine men to the plate in both the 1st and 3rd sending home 7 runs on 9 hits (all singles) along with a walk, a hit batsman […]

Tuesday, May 22 – We had really great seats at this park for a while. We had tickets for Row 1 Sec 328. That is where we sat until the beginning of the game when season ticket holders informed us we were in their seats. Apparently we were in the Upper Box Sec 328 and […]

Sunday, May 20 – This stadium is showing its age and with talk of building a new one, it is no wonder it has not been through the renovations that some of the others the same age have. This game was between “cross bay rivals” – Oakland A’s and San Francisco Giants. The place was […]

AT&T Park San Francisco, California Team R H E Houston Astros 2 6 0 San Francisco Giants 4 10 0 Highlights This was a good one—good pitching, timely hitting and error free. Both starting pitchers (Roy Oswalt 6-2 w/2.88 ERA for the Giants & impressive rookie Tim Lincecum 1-0 w/3.34 ERA) pitched perfectly for the […]

McAfee Coliseum Oakland, California Team R H E San Francisco Giants 4 11 1 Oakland Athletics 1 2 0 Highlights The story of this one was the 2 hit pitching performance of Matt Morris for the Giants who baffled the A’s hitters all day with a tantalizing curve ball in front of a capacity crowd […]

Since the Angels were playing the Dodgers, we saw Nomar again but we also got to see another former “Let’s go Angels” were followed by “Let’s go Dodgers”. Just what you would expect in a “Freeway Series” as this rivalry is called. Before the game we heard the best rendition of the National Anthem yet. […]

Angel Stadium Anaheim, California Team R H E Los Angeles Dodgers 1 8 3 Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim 9 11 1 Highlights We’ve been to 11 games now with 7 of them National League contests and it’s made me realize how much of a purist I am with respect to the game. No DH […]
