Baseball
Game recaps, ballpark visits, and reflections on America's pastime: the strategy, the statistics, the stories.
Los Angeles Angels @ Oakland AthleticsOakland Coliseum - Amy’s Last Visit
We planned a Hawaii trip, layover in Oakland, and the A's are playing their FINAL season in Oakland? We have to go.
Chicago White Sox @ Houston AstrosMinute Maid Park – Meeting Dusty Baker
Meeting Dusty Baker, seeing the Aztecs in the Final Four, from a sports perspective, doesn’t get much better.
Los Angeles Dodgers @ Miami MarlinsMarlins Park – Cheetah Print & Culture
Marlins Stadium is a very nondescript bland stadium that you’d almost miss if you didn’t know what to look for. And, the insides of the stadium are equally as bland with poor food and beer choices.
San Diego Padres @ Colorado RockiesCoors Field – The Outfield “Tonight”
Coors Field was a blast and a quick walk from our hotel. The day started with a fun Coors Rockies hat giveaway and Gage throwing absolute GAS in the pitching cage (38 mph).
New York Yankees @ Boston Red SoxFenway Park – A Perfect Game
Fenway Park is my favorite ballpark in the bigs. HANDS DOWN. And, as a San Francisco Giants fan, I know how blessed we are with AT&T Park, now Oracle Park.
Texas Rangers @ San FranciscoOracle Park – Memories of Championships Past
Oracle Park, what used to be AT&T Park has a lot of memories for Amy and I. We met in 2010 during the first World Series Run.
Colorado Rockies @ Los AngelesDodgers Stadium – A Homecoming for Amy
Visiting Dodgers Stadium was an incredible homecoming for Amy. She grew up a Dodgers fan and has great memories of family baseball outings.
Texas Rangers @ Los Angeles AngelsAngels Stadium – Mike Trout Jersey Giveaway
What a fun trip to see the Anaheim Angels in Angels Stadium. I mean the Los Angels Angels who play no where close to Los Angeles in the city of Anaheim.
New York Mets @ San Diego PadresPetco Park – Little League Day
It’s fitting that the first ballpark we visited as a family was Petco Park in San Diego. Its our hometown and one of the most beautiful ballparks I’ve ever seen.
