We have spent the past two weeks in California, and Chris and I agree it has been our favorite place so far. Thanks to all the little birdies at Minor League games that gave us free In N Out Burger coupons—we literally ate there for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day that we were in […]
Today was our last game in the Bay Area as we headed to AT&T Park to see the Giants take on the Blue Jays. AT&T Park is one of the better stadiums in all of baseball, with a great design offering sweeping views of the water. In case you were wondering, the fans still cheer […]
At the Stockton game the other day, we had the pleasure of meeting a bunch of guys who play Vintage Baseball, circa 1886. This stuff is the real deal. The guys play with gloves that are as padded as a batting glove, and the pitchers throw about 60 MPH (or faster) from 50 feet away. […]
We arrived in Stockton just two hours before the start of the game, and there was already a long line forming outside the gates. Apparently some fans had been waiting since 11am for the 1pm opening of the gates. That is either some real dedication or just proof of how much there really is to […]
Visalia is located a bit south of Fresno, in case any of you out there were hoping for a free geography lesson. Recreation Stadium seats only 1,800 people making it the smallest ballpark in California and it might just be the smallest one in all of Minor League baseball. By September, I will be able […]
For the 2nd straight night we had the pleasure of seeing the L.A. Dodgers, this time at Dodger Stadium. Before the game we were brought down to the field to check out batting practice and conduct a short interview for a local network broadcasting the Dodgers game. I had a chance watch one of my […]
On our way down to San Diego, I received a phone call informing me that Curt Schilling was on the verge of throwing a no-hitter in Oakland. Unreal! We were just there on Monday, and of course today was the day to be there (although the Monday game was pretty good.) Unfortunately as you all […]
After a long drive, we arrived in Anaheim just in time to get in to see the Angels take on the Twins. The Angels play their games at Angel Stadium of Anaheim, a name that is almost as long as their team name. Originally in 1997, a sponsorship deal was reached with Edison International, giving […]
Just when you think you never have to go to another Education/Kids Day, one more appears on the schedule in West Sacramento. Chris and I made the best of it selling raffle tickets for our severely discounted kids day price of 25 cents a piece. The RiverCats play their games at Raley Field, which is […]
Formerly the Philadelphia Athletics, this team now resides in Oakland after making a brief stop in Kansas City during the 1950s. Today’s Athletics are led by a different kind of Connie Mack-like baseball guy named Billy Beane, who is one of the more well known GMs in baseball (and subject of the very well written […]
