8 States, 9 Ballparks, 18 Days
A blog of my summer travels to 9 different MLB Ballparks! And my trip to Japan in August!
Where am I going?
It all begins in Boston. I’ll start by seeing the Red Sox and Yankees on the Green Monster! Then it’s off to Pittsburgh to see the Pirates, raise it! From there I’m visiting the Rock and Roll HOF and catching a Guardians game. In the Motor City I’ll be seeing the Tigers. I’m psyched to see where my parents met in Wrigleyville and hopefully join the beer snake at a Cubs game. After that I have a quick day trip to Milwaukee to enjoy some brews and Brewers baseball. In St. Louis I’ll go up the arch and see a classic team, the Cardinals. In Kansas City I’ll see the Royals sitting behind home base! To finish it all off I’ll be a mile high with the Colorado Rockies.
How does this connect to Japan?
In August 2024 I will be traveling to Japan with William and Mary to interview former players. We have conducted interviews in the US, mainly with former Americans who have played in Japan. Now we are traveling to Japan to interview former Japanese players who came to play in America.
