First stop was the Trenton Thunder game at Mercer County Waterfront Park. The Thunder used to be an affiliate of the Red Sox, but are now affiliated of the New York Yankees. Tons of Riley family members came out to say hello and support the Tour for the Cure. I was also joined today by […]
Today we were joined for the first game by Chris and Karen, and we set off hoping to see history being made by A-Rod hitting his 500th homerun. Special thanks to StubHub for getting us tickets to the game! for Upon arriving in the Bronx, you can see the foundation of the new $1.3 billion […]
Back in the NJ-PA-NY area for a few days, and the first stop is in Lakewood to see the BlueClaws at First Energy Park. Tons of fans pour into the ballpark each night—the BlueClaws average about 6,500 fans per game, and lead the South Atlantic league in attendance becoming the fastest team in league history […]
Today’s first game was probably the biggest Camp Day of the summer. By the time the game started, there was a sea of yellow buses in all of the surrounding parking lots. The PawSox play their games at McCoy Stadium, which has been in operation for over 60 years. What McCoy Stadium is best known […]
After a particularly relaxing day yesterday with just one MLB game, the Tour for the Cure was in for a long day of baseball and driving. First up was a four-hour drive to see the Vermont Lake Monsters in Burlington. Located on the University of Vermont campus, Centennial Field plays host to the Lake Monsters. […]
Boston—the home of Fenway Park and the Boston Red Sox, the Jimmy Fund, and the founder of the Tour for the Cure—Cass Sapir. Fenway Park is the oldest ballpark still in use today. Originally built in 1912, Fenway is currently celebrating it’s 95th birthday this year. For a very long time, Fenway was known as […]
Today started at 4:30am, because we had to make it from Syracuse, NY to Manchester, NH by 10:30am. The good news is that we hustled and got to Merchantsauto.com Stadium (officially the worst name of a corporate naming ballpark) in time to set up and get settled in the stadium. Unfortunately, the majority of the […]
Today’s game brought the Tour to Alliance Bank Park, home of the Sky Chiefs, Triple-A affiliate of the Blue Jays. Like the Blue Jays, the Sky Chiefs play their games on artificial turf, making it only the 3rd or 4th game we’ve seen so far where the team plays on turf. Good news for fans […]
The Tour for the Cure left Scranton very early on Tuesday morning and headed to see the Oneonta Tigers take on the Aberdeen Ironbirds at Doubleday Field. The Tigers normally play their games about 30 minutes away at Damaschke Field but today they were scheduled to play Cal Ripken’s minor league team so the […]
The SWB Yankees used to be affiliated with the Phillies up until last year, but this year the Yankees took over the team when the Phillies temporarily moved up to Ottawa. I had some more family join me today—but unfortunately the rain struck again and there really wasn’t much we could do in Scranton—except eat […]
