Ben Fry has been creating a MLB salary vs. performance graph for the past few years… and he has updated it again this year to see how your favorite MLB team. It’s obviously too early on in the season to see what team will be the winners and losers, but it looks as if the […]
We post pictures pretty regularly, and unless you check the site daily (see Flickr sidebar of pictures), there is a pretty good chance that you have missed out on some pictures throughout the tour. You can access my Flickr collection here, but if you want an even easier way to view all my photos on […]
When we arrive at each ballpark, one of the things most crucial to our setup is our whiteboard sign. Since Day One, Chris has contributed his arts and crafts style to helping design each sign. This post is an behind the scenes look/tribute to his hard work.
Usually 20 to 30 minutes later, this is […]
Today we came back down to Alabama, where we will be for the next two days. First stop was the Birmingham Barons, who are probably one of the better known teams around due to the fact that a certain basketball player named Michael Jordan played for them for a season. I even noticed that they […]
During most of the recent games we’ve attended, I’ve had the opportunity to go on the local radio for an inning or so to talk about the Tour for the Cure. Trying to talk about what we are doing while not interrupting the broadcaster’s play-by-play duties is a bit tough, and the conversation doesn’t always […]
We continued our travels across the state of Tennessee, which is actually quite a nice state to drive through. The West Tenn Diamond Jaxx is located in between Nashville and Memphis, and the stadium is literally located in the middle of nowhere off a highway. The West Tenn Diamond Jaxx got their name from their […]
After the game last night we made a straight trip to Knoxville, which is in the general vicinity of where the Tennessee Smokies play their games. We spent a very nice relaxing afternoon at a Borders, where we caught up on email, website stuff, and general Tour for the Cure duties (including an interview with […]
Our third straight day of doubleheader baseball, and of course there was no better way to do it by attending one of our last education days. It feels as if each Education Day is busier and packed with more kids than the previous one, and I really think this was the most kids we’ve seen […]
Today was a huge day for us. We arrived at the Great American Ballpark early today for the 12:30 Reds-Astros game because we were throwing out the first pitch. We were able to set it up where I was pitching and Chris would be catching. This was the first time that we were going to […]
Although it was a doubleheader day, today was pretty light due to the fact that we weren’t able to set anything up in either stadium. Tough front office crowd, I guess. This morning the Legends hosted the local kids for another Education Day, and I have to say there is something surreal about hearing thousands […]
