If they built it, we did come! On May 21st, 2011, my son and I began the father and son adventure of a lifetime! We departed from Phoenix, AZ on a 7-week road trip and drove around the country to see a game at, or tour every major league baseball park - a trip that covered 11,232 miles. Our baseball trip concluded on July 12th with us attending the All Star Game at Chase Field. This blog is a diary of our experience.

123 Days Until the Big Day and Counting!
Less than four months to go before we take off on the baseball trip. The latest news is that all of the hotel and rental car reservations have been made. The next step is to start buying tickets. If anyone out there has a hook-up for getting some decent tickets for any of the games we're going to, please let me know.
