Got just 1 more day of Tax Season left, a day of employee evals… then its time to hit the road!  I’m soooo ready to go, mentally, but my planning has been a bit lacking.  I still have a few nights where I have no hotel reservations yet and that is soooo unlike me.  Problem is that with a trip like this, one where I have several uncertain events coming up, I can’t really plan ahead.  With that said… BRING IT ON!!!!

First game: May 19th – Indians vs Mariners @ Safeco Field with King Felix on the hill!

Red Sox – 10x in 7 different parks
Marlins – 5x
A’s – 5x
D’Backs – 5x
Rockies – 4x
Mariners – 3x
Angels – 3x
Braves – 3x
Padres – 3x
Pirates – 3x

I’m at my house right now here in Marysville hanging with World Record Holder Chuck Booth discussing his trip and the portion of it that I will be on with him.  Got a lot of good planning going on.  This trip is gonna be incredible!

Since I last posted my schedule, a few things have changed… for the better.  The following games have now been added to my schedule:

May 2nd – Great American Ball Park – Red vs Cubs
May 3rd – Great American Ball Park – Red vs Cubs
May 11th – Marlins Ballpark – Marlins vs Mets
May 12th – Marlins Ballpark – Marlins vs Mets
May 13th – Marlins Ballpark – Marlins vs Mets
May 16th – Tropicana Field – Rays vs Red Sox
May 17th – Tropicana Field – Rays vs Red Sox

I might possibly push my first game in Miami back to the 12th and be there the 12th, 13th and 14th.  Will just have to see how it goes… nothing set in stone for those games yet.

4 weeks from Thursday is when I go pick up Chuck at the airport in Seattle and the adventure begins…

As of right now the following is my schedule for my trip in April when I hit the road with Guinness World Record holder Douglas “Chuck” Booth as he attempts to break his own record.  Right now the trip has me at 10 games, in 8 days in 8 different MLB parks.

April 19th – Safeco Field – Mariners vs Indians*
April 20th – Kauffman Stadium – Royals vs Blue Jays*
April 21st – Wrigley Field – Cubs vs Reds*+
April 21st – Miller Park – Brewers vs Rockies*+
April 22nd – Miller Park – Brewers vs Rockies#
April 23rd – Wrigley Field – Cubs vs Cardinals#
April 24th – Comerica Park – Tigers vs Mariners@
April 25th – PNC Park – Pirates vs Rockies*
April 25th – Progressive Field – Indians vs Royals#
April 26th – U.S. Cellular Field – White Sox vs Red Sox*

* – games with Chuck Booth as part of his Guinness World Record Attempt
+ – games where we will be joined by Bob DeVries
# – games I will go to by myself
@ – game where I will be joined by my friends the Reardons

We have a car reserved at the airport in Milwaukee on 4/22 that I will be picking up.  We’ll have that car from 4/22-5/3.  I will be flying home from Milwaukee on that date.  What we do from 4/27 til 5/3 is unknown at this point. It will all depend on if Chuck needs to make up games from possible misses during the run.  We might have to head to either STL, BAL, NYY, CWS or my bet if any of these happen, TEX.  From Chicago to Arlington would take us about 16.5 hours driving.  It most certainly could be done… if needed.
