Baseball America Road Trip 2k8
While attending Murray, I always wanted to drive across America and see all the Major League Ballparks and watch a game there. I soon realized that a trip like that must be broke down into several small trips to save money and allow for non-tent living. So I told Sarah about this when we got together and she thought it was a pretty cool idea, we never set a time table or made plans, but it was something we wanted to do. So this summer the trip begins. Part of my idea was to get a large map and hang it in the office at our house, then push pins into the city of each team(Chicago and New York get 2). Once we visit that stadium to change the color of the pin and check it off the list. Well thanks to tjones I have that map. While drinking and eating at BWW this past December, I told Tim about the idea and when I got home that night he had bought me a sweet map to start the adventure. So it hangs now, in our office full of white pins. There are 7 pins that are blue(which means we are going there this summer), and 1 red(which means we have been there). The 7 cities are Chicago(2 games), Milwaukee, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, and Kansas City. The Chicago/Milwaukee trip is May 25-27 and I am very excited. The PItts/Cin/Clev trip is in July. The Kansas City game will be thrown in there somewhere. I already have the White Sox and Brewer tickets and am working on the Cubs. The Reds and Pirates tickets shouldn't be too hard to come by, but the Indians might. So we'll see how it goes, but I am excited and ready to start.
GO REDS! I hope you root for the team of the stadium you're visiting. Those will always be my boys.
