…and we spent it driving 12 hours to Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Our last games in Texas! The Texas Rangers and Frisco RoughRiders both play their games in the Dallas area, so we had to get up super early and hit the road in order to make it to our first game of the day. The Rangers ballpark in Arlington is actually quite nice, and there is […]

Round Rock is located just north of Austin, and the Express is the other Texas team owned by Nolan Ryan. Dell Diamond is definitely one of the top ballparks we’ve been too, very similar to Whatabuger Field in Corpus Christi. Tonight’s giveaway was a Nolan Ryan statue, keeping in line with the Nolan giveaway trend […]

What a great day in San Antonio! We had to compete with the Spurs playoff game, but the crowd that showed up on a slightly overcast day were some of the most generous folk we have come across yet! Special thanks to Mickey for all the help and for the special team donation… it made […]

Tonight’s game was the first of two Nolan Ryan owned teams in Texas. The Corpus Christi Hooks play their games at the recently built Whataburger Field, which is definitely one of the nicest ballparks we’ve been to on the Tour to date. Whataburger, headquartered in Corpus Christi, is a delicious fast food restaurant that […]

Tonight’s game was “Western Night” at Minute Maid Park, so it was appropriate that our at our first game in Texas we received cowboy hats. However, this post will mainly highlight one thing—my inability lately to throw a good first pitch. Let me start off by saying I’m already dreading the comments that will come […]

Last week we had our official stop in Louisville to see the Bats play. Before the game, Chris and I had a chance to stop by the offices of Louisville Slugger, who happen to be our presenting sponsor. We are thrilled to be working side by side with a company so entrenched in the baseball […]

A second straight 8-hour travel day, and boy are our arms tired. After the long journey, we arrived at our hotel only to find out it was the wrong one—the correct hotel with the same name was located just a few blocks away. After a brief tour through the French Quarter we headed to Zephyr […]

After a 9-hour drive from Mobile, we arrived in Little Rock to see the Arkansas Travelers at their brand new ballpark, Dickey-Stephens Park. The team used to play at Ray Winder field from 1932 to 2006, and it’s safe to say the ballpark was past its prime. The new stadium—on the other ahnd—opened just over […]

Continuing on down through Alabama we arrived in Mobile, which is at the southern tip of the state. The BayBears play their games at Hank Aaron Stadium, and the ballpark is conveniently located at 755 Hank Aaron Drive. In addition to the regular seating at Hank Aaron Stadium, the park has BayBear beach with sand […]
