About Me

My photo
ballpark junkie
I love baseball. I am a CUBS fan first, but enjoy the sport as a whole. I never pass up a chance to go to a ballgame, even if my Cubbies aren't playing. As Ive gotten older, I realized that I had gone on vacation to some cities that I would have loved to hit the ballpark in(Boston, 3 times but never went to Fenway, Philly 5 times and never went to a game there, and lived in Detroit for 2 years and didn't go to the old Tiger Stadium. I cant get that one back), so I now try to plan around games if in season, and if, of course the place I'm going has a team. Thankfully, I have a beautiful wife that tolerates this, and even enjoys it, unless its 35 and windy at Wrigley in may.
