Ultimate Baseball "Fantasy" Trip - Rounding Third & Heading for Home...
We are now 3 weeks into this epic adventure and are down to just over 1 week to go. We have been all over the country and into Canada, logging thousands of miles in the first 3 weeks. We've dealt with long trips and bad weather. We've eaten more food that we ever should think of eating, and saw so much baseball I now think I'm a knuckleball instead of a knucklehead for doing this trip. What started in Seattle watching the Mariners is currently in Milwaukee watching a former Seattle team, the Milwaukee Brewers, formerly known as the Seattle Pilots. In between those 2 locations we have seen 22 games 202 innings (included are 3 extra inning games). We saw Colorado score 8 runs in the 10th inning on the 15th in Detroit. We were able to think on our feet when the rains hit Philadelphia and tweak the schedule to stay with the plan. We've seen both ends of Interstate 75 with the beginning in the Upper Peninsula in Michigan and the end of the road in Miami, Florida. In the first 3 weeks we have traveled over 11000 miles and still have nearly 5000 miles to go to the finish. The last week will be a true test of our mettle as we push thru the tiredness and exhaustion to try to reach the finish line. Follow us as we attempt to do what few people have chosen to do....to see 30 ballparks in 30 days, by car (and train).
