Baseball Road Trip: Game 13 in Cincinnati

by David September 25, 2009 Ballpark Reviews

The famous saying goes,”All good things must come to an end.” Unfortunately, this was true for our trip of a lifetime. Our final stop on this tour of America’s great ballparks brought us to Cincinnati and the Great American Ballpark. This home of the Reds is situated right up against the Ohio River in downtown [...]

Baseball Road Trip: Game 12 in Cleveland

by David August 10, 2009 Ballpark Reviews

Our second-to-last stop on this grand baseball trip was at Progressive Field in Cleveland, Ohio. We had purchased our tickets ahead of time from the Indians’ website because it was Major League Monday complete with a Rick Vaughn bobblehead giveaway. As it turns out, our good planning was unnecessary as there were plenty of good [...]

Baseball Road Trip: Game 11 in Pittsburgh

by David July 7, 2009 Ballpark Reviews

Our stop in Pittsburgh was short and sweet. We arrived just before first pitch and headed out of town after the game ended. Such is life for us hard-core road trippers, but we were able to (mostly) enjoy PNC Park and the game between the Detroit Tigers and the host Pirates.
This stop got off to [...]

Baseball Road Trip: Game 10 in Philadelphia

by David June 30, 2009 Ballpark Reviews

We followed up our visit to New York with a trip to the home of the defending World Series champion Philadelphia Phillies. Yes, I do still harbor some hard feelings from last October when they ended the Dodgers’ playoff run, but we had to visit Citizens Bank Park since we were so close. I now [...]

Baseball Road Trip: Game 9 at the New Yankee Stadium

by David June 26, 2009 Ballpark Reviews

Our next stop brought us to baseball’s hallowed ground in the Bronx. Well, we were next to what used to be hallowed ground. Of course I am referring to the New Yankee Stadium.
We timed our passage through New York perfectly as we caught the first installment of this season’s Subway Series – the first ever [...]

Baseball Road Trip: Game 8 in NYC (Mets)

by David June 19, 2009 Ballpark Reviews

The 2009 season marked the opening of two brand new ballparks for the New York teams. Overshadowed by the publicity surrounding the “House that George Built” up in the Bronx, Citi Field can definitely hold its own as a first-class facility. This $850 million home of the Mets sits adjacent to the site [...]

Baseball Road Trip: Game 7 in Baltimore

by David June 16, 2009 Ballpark Reviews

Our visit to Baltimore’s beautiful ballpark marked the seventh stop on our trip and the second of eight consecutive games to finish our trip. Oriole Park at Camden Yards was the trend setter for all the new downtown stadiums that have popped up in the majors in the last couple decades. After visiting, we can [...]

Baseball Road Trip: Game 6 in Washington D.C.

by David June 15, 2009 Ballpark Reviews

We switched gears from Canadian baseball played on fake grass to the just-opened Nationals Park in Washington D.C. for our sixth stop on this roadie. Having just opened its doors and field for play at the beginning of the 2008 season, this is one of the most beautiful parks we have seen on this trip. [...]

Baseball Road Trip: Game 5 in Toronto

by David June 12, 2009 Ballpark Reviews

Our visit to Comerica Park and the Tigers was followed by a whirlwind day of driving from Detroit to Toronto to Niagara Falls to Williamsport, PA. Technically we can say that we visited Toronto, but we were only there long enough to park the car, buy food and tickets, and watch the game between the [...]

Baseball Road Trip: Game 4 in Detroit

by David June 8, 2009 Ballpark Reviews

The Motor City. Motown. Rock City. Our fourth stop on our 13-game circuit was Comerica Park in Detroit, Michigan. We arrived at the stadium just as the gates opened and made our way to the Beer Hall where we had some dinner. We each had our first ever beer at a baseball game and [...]
