My goal is to visit every MLB baseball stadium, journaling the best fan experiences and exploring the surrounding towns. Each stadium offers a unique vibe—from iconic ballparks to modern venues—and discovering what makes them special brings me joy. Sharing these adventures is a celebration of the game and the places that make it unforgettable.
I’m a baseball mom first. Watching my three sons grow up playing the sport—pitching, hitting, and fielding under the Southern California sun—became one of my life’s greatest joys. My oldest son’s passion carried him to pitch for a Division I college program, but my love for the game didn’t stop there. It deepened, especially after a road trip I planned for his 8th-grade graduation. We set out to visit stadiums along the East Coast—Citi Field, Camden Yards, and Citizens Bank Park—but Hurricane Irene had other plans, raining out one of the games. That trip may not have been exactly what I planned, but it sparked a new passion for visiting baseball stadiums: and a goal to visit every MLB stadium across the country. I’m an Angels fan at heart, but my passion extends to every ballpark I visit. Each one offers something unique—the roar of the crowd, the local food, the traditions, and the joy of watching baseball live.
This journey isn’t about rating stadiums or securing the best seats. It’s about experiencing the game in every city, savoring the local flavors, exploring the surrounding neighborhoods, and creating memories that connect me to the sport I love and the family that grew with it.
