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 […]
We left Williamsport early today and headed up to Rochester for our first game, at 11am. It was a camp day, and probably the biggest one so far—approximately 6,000 kids had been shuttled in from various day camps to check out the game. Due to the young crowd, we didn’t have a chance to do […]
Today’s game in Harrisburg was a family affair—I was joined by my mom, sister, and two uncles. The crowd was mostly made up of camp kids, so the fundraising was a bit limited. Thanks to Mark for getting us some great prizes—they have been some of the best we have received so far. The Harrisburg […]
Whoa! The Renegades fans definitely have the most fun when they come to the ballpark. For a Tuesday night, the place was pretty packed. The team has some of the best promotions and games in between each inning, and the whole crowd gets into it. During the 6th inning, all of the kids formed a […]
Rained out. Worst weather of the trip to date.
The Tour for the Cure said goodbye to special guests Mike and Suresh today, and headed back across Canada for Auburn, NY for a Sunday evening Doubledays game. The drive was scheduled to be about 6 and 1/2 hours, so I left pretty early from Detroit. What I didn’t factor into the drive was the […]
In addition to our presenting sponsor Louisville Slugger, we have received a lot of help from StubHub.com, which is the largest ticket marketplace in the world, based on sales. They have been around for a few years, and recently became a member of the Ebay-family. So how does StubHub help us? Sometimes MLB teams […]
