75 games — a quick look

The Summer of Baseball is over for me.

And I’ve thought about doing this as I also want to post this in a Facebook group I’m in … so being I need a post, it was a good time for this.

This summer, I went to 75 baseball games. That’s a crazy number for me. I’m not sure I’ll do it again (that many) as I was constantly going to games. As much as I loved it, there were some other things I wanted to do this summer and didn’t. That being said, let’s see what I did do this year.

• 75 games (58 Minor League, 11 Major League, four independent, 1 exhibition — Hall of Fame, 1 summer college league game).
• 30 new stadiums (20 MiLB, 7 MLB, 3 independent)

Where I went:

• Binghamton (AA)*
• Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (AAA)*
• Syracuse (AAA)*
• Rochester (AAA)
• Pawtucket (AAA)
• Lehigh Valley (AAA)*
• Rockland (Ind)
• Washington (MLB)*
• Southern Maryland (Ind)
• Reading (AA)
• Mahoning Valley (A)
• Cleveland (MLB)
• Erie (AA)
• Auburn (A)
• Sussex County (Ind)
• Tri-City (A)*
• Philadelphia (MLB)*
• Lakewood (A)*
• Portland (AA)
• Hagerstown (A)
• West Virginia (A)
• Louisville (AAA)
• Cincinnati (MLB)
• Salem (A)
• Charlotte (AAA)
• Kannapolis (A)
• Danville (A)
• Carolina (A)
• Burlington (A)
• Lynchburg (A)
• Hickory (A)
• Durham (AAA)
• Winston-Salem (A)
• Greensboro (A)
• New York – AL (MLB)
• Batavia (A)
• Buffalo (AAA)
• Lancaster (Ind)
• Los Angeles Dodgers (MLB)
• San Diego (MLB)
• Anaheim (MLB)

* – Visited multiple times (doesn’t include double headers)

Overall, it was a great time. I had at least one hot dog at every stadium. I took photos with my main camera at most. I kept score book at all but the collegiate league game and I stamped in with the passport wherever it was available. Several of these stadiums I went to several times.

This winter will feature a lot of posts baseball related and to this summer’s baseball fun. But this is an overall feel of what I did. Kind of crazy, once I think about it — that’s for sure.
