The Majors

2010

by Nicole January 21, 2011 Baseball Games

After all the baseball excitement and games in 2009, 2010 was a bit of a let-down you might say. But, we sort of had bigger fish to fry this year. In early April, we brought home the latest player to be added to our team, our son Brody.
Before Brody’s arrival, we did make it out [...]

Wrapping up 2009

by Nicole January 21, 2011 Baseball Games

Uh, oops.
I guess this blog sort of neglected to participate in the last couple of baseball seasons.

Since we just bought our 2011 Spring Training Tickets, I figured I better do a quick recap of the last couple of years. This year, maybe we’ll be a little more up-to-date on this ol’ blog.

Since our amazing road [...]

Dodgers vs. Angels

by Nicole March 2, 2010 Baseball Games

Here are some photos from a game we went to last year on June 20th, 2009. We love going to Angel Stadium (Gigi and I particularly like the Rally Monkey), especially when we get to see the Dodgers play there. The “Freeway Series” is always a fun rivalry. Angel Stadium will always be special to [...]

She’s Learning Her Colors

by Nicole November 9, 2009 Baseball Games

Yesterday my dad took Chiquita to the grocery store. Apparently, he asked her which “car cart” she wanted to drive/ride in. Her choices were red and blue. Now, let me point out that this is the girl that almost always responds with a confident “yellow!” when asked what color something is, regardless of what it [...]

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 [...]
