I was sitting along the first base in the bleacher seats at Space Coast Stadium, Spring training home of the Washington Nationals. There was a group of guys behind me that looked like a high school baseball team. I asked one kid where they were from, he had some clothing apparel on from a company… Continue reading Day 25 “Justin Bieber”

Day 24 “Go Jacks!”
I headed back to the Snowbird Baseball Classic to watch some college ball yesterday and was able to watch 3 games. I was going to just sit and watch a game before I found a story. As I was setting up my chair and getting situated at the South Dakota State Jackrabbits game against the… Continue reading Day 24 “Go Jacks!”
Day 23 “Ceremonial First Pitch!”
Yesterdays game was my 25th game I have attended since I began this project. My fear was that I was going to get sick of baseball after a few weeks and then I would wonder how I was going to make it through 9 months. I am lucky that I have enjoyed all the games, people… Continue reading Day 23 “Ceremonial First Pitch!”
Day 22 “Boring Bill”
I have said in the past that I fret about finding a story almost every day. Some days, I just don’t have the courage to walk up to someone to explain what I am doing and to find out if they are willing to talk to me. Other days, I am very confident. My reflection… Continue reading Day 22 “Boring Bill”
McKechnie Field – Pittsburgh Pirates
When I was driving to McKechnie Field, through the neighborhoods, I knew I was going to like this park before I even saw it. I like a ballpark that is part of the city landscape. For me, there is a charm of playing a baseball game in the heart of the city with a chance… Continue reading McKechnie Field – Pittsburgh Pirates
Day 21 “Spring Training Stadium Rankings”
I am going to rate the spring training stadiums I have been to. This is my personal take on them and the only criteria I am going to use is, (A) – how I felt when I was there, and (B) – if I would drive 2 hours to see a game. I will add… Continue reading Day 21 “Spring Training Stadium Rankings”
Day 20 “Rain Out!”
I will not be posting a story tonight! I went to see the Pittsburgh Pirates play the Toronto Blue Jays today in Bradenton, FL at McKechnie Field, but it was rained out. I was going to see a high school game later and that was cancelled also… These things are going to happen; but even though,… Continue reading Day 20 “Rain Out!”

Day 19 “Hurricane!”
I went to my first high school baseball game. I was surprised that the season had already started. My new “buddy” Bob (Day 14 “Bonnie Frank!”) is the pitching coach at Cape Coral High School, so I thought I would check it out. The Cape Coral Seahawks were taking on the Cypress Lake Lightning. There are three high… Continue reading Day 19 “Hurricane!”
Day 18 “Louie Armstrong!”
I paid $9 at Ed Smith Stadium for parking, I wanted to find a place and walk but it was a residential neighborhood for the most part and you couldn’t park on the street during game days, as I was walking out of the lot and towards the stadium I started talking to an older… Continue reading Day 18 “Louie Armstrong!”
