Today marks the halfway point of our trip in terms of days—we left Philadelphia on April 3rd, and will eventually return on September 9th. We’ve seen a lot of baseball and raised a lot of money, but we are ready to crank it up a notch and power through the last 99 games. Tonight was […]
We started the day thinking we had off, and had plenty of time to make the 7-hour drive to Casper, Wyoming. Turns out we had a game today and realized it when we woke up. Thirty minutes later we were on our way to Wyoming heading to see the Casper Rockies take on the Idaho […]
Today we arrived in Orem for Opening Day of the Pioneer League. The Orem Owlz were first up, as they played the visiting Ogden Raptors. The fans packed it in as over 3,400 people were in attendance for opening night. Chris and I have had the experience of seeing how hard the staff at Minor […]

Our second day was […]
