With twelve parks completed so far, we have seen so many wonderful places and have met so many amazing people! I think that this is one of the things people connect to at a baseball game - the chance to visit with other fans. Football, basketball, and hockey game interactions are generally limited to high fiving a stranger, but at a baseball game, there is time to really get to know people. Every ballpark we've visited has left us with restaurant recommendations, sights to see in the area, and even embarrassing stories. In fact, during our visit to Los Angeles last summer, we met a couple who told us about the beauties of Coors Field. They then proceeded to mortify their teenage daughter by admitting that she may have been conceived there! I'm pretty confident that the same conversation would not have happened at a 49ers game!
We've also eaten our share of hot dogs over the years and have become very refined conoisseurs, if that's possible. The Rockie Dog we ate this summer was awesome, and actually tied the Chicago Dog! No matter where we go, people assure us that their hot dogs are the best - especially if they're from Chicago! My son never strays far from ketchup and mustard, but I enjoy the local flavour whenever possible. I still proudly wear a chilli stain on my Joey Votto jersey, and I can't wait to see what local spin places like Seattle and Arlington put on their dogs!
One thing is for sure - we'd love to have you along for the adventure!
