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 [...]

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 as [...]

by Nicole June 7, 2009 Baseball Road Trippin'

So, unfortunately we had to cancel our game in St. Louis due to Chiquita’s virus. She was feeling much better after a day of rest in Chicago (see photo above), but we didn’t want to put her through a slightly grueling day of driving to St. Louis, watching a game, and then driving to our [...]

by David June 5, 2009 Baseball Games

Unfortunately, Chiquita did not recover as quickly as we had hoped from being sick. After taking her to urgent care and getting a prescription in Chicago on Monday just before the game, we decided that only I (David) would go to the White Sox game (a little late) and check out US Cellular Field. I [...]

Padres at Dodgers~ May 1, 2009

by Nicole May 29, 2009 Ballpark Reviews

We had a great time as usual at Dodger Stadium! This was our first time taking a toddler, and despite the age of the stadium, it was pretty doable with a stadium. A couple of downfalls for a young fan was the lack of elevators (only a couple at the whole place!) and unfortunately no [...]
