Around the Bases Update – Week 1 2012
Welcome to 2012! Anyone up for some snow-ball?! Get it? Baseball in Wilmington? It looks like here that we do have a debate between city and county officials on whether or not to build a new ballpark in the city of Wilmington NC. The NC coast is no without a team after the Kinston Indians … Read more
A Season to Remember
This year saw the journey in full effect with the visiting of 9 new ballparks in 4 states. I visited parks in North Carolina, Georgia, Colorado, and Tennessee. The new year will bring more adventures, more food, and most importantly more ballparks! On the docket is new experiences in Chicago, Pennslyvania, and in the major … Read more
#21 – Kinston Indians
It was an late summer evening, September 2nd to be exact, when the Kinston Indians of the sleepy southeastern North Carolina town played their last regular season game. Now three months removed from that event, my soul has an appreciation for small town, small market ball that had yet to be understood. Partially now because … Read more
#20 Colorado Rockies
In late August, I was fortunate enough to be flown out to Denver for a work summit, in which I met amazing people doing amazing things for young people around the country. As if being inspired by their commitment to better our future through solid educational techniques such as service-learning, and hearing of their measurable impact on … Read more
#19 Asheville Tourists
On a sunny and hot North Carolina summer, my lady and I ventured with our two dogs to the mountainside of the Appalachians. In between the Bilmore Estate, the hippie streets of downtown Asheville, and blue mountains of Appalachia is nestled the downhome McCormick Field. In late July, we visited my #19 ballpark, and it was … Read more
Outside the lines, Inside our hearts
There are two great web articles this week that are must reads for any baseball fan. Why? Well not because they speak about layout of a ballpark, or the players, or the sport itself. But they are in fact some of the best articles about what baseball is inside of our souls. It transcends just … Read more
#18 Long Island Ducks
Needless to say, my journey was never intended to be rational. Now that I’ve been to one minor league independent ballpark, all signs point to it being ludicrous! I have not determined how I will keep track of Indy league ballparks, since some teams fold and spring up faster than MILB clubs, or if I will … Read more
Mudcats Revisited – Happy 4th of July!
A few weeks back, we were invited to attend a birthday celebration (via the Digi Diva – check her out on twitter @thedigidiva) and were treated to the spectacular luxury boxes high in the sky! So in righteous ballpark fan fashion I snapped a few pictures, took a few notes, and ate my face off! … Read more
#17 Hickory Crawdads
Sometimes work has benefits outside of a steady paycheck, excellent co-workers, and a stellar mission. Sometimes work takes you places on just the right day so you can catch a ballgame at a ballpark that you have never been to before. And on May 3rd that happend for me! I was in Hickory North Carolina, … Read more
#16 Memphis Redbirds
There is nothing like making plans for something completely different than baseball, check out and see the local ball club is playing, and to have a loving fiance say “Let’s Do It!” You cannot beat baseball and love. (Remember to click all pictures for full view!) The Memphis Redbirds was a special treat – as … Read more

#15 Winston-Salem Dash
My 2011 Minor League Baseball tour kicks off in Single-A fashion with the recently “newly” minted Winston-Salem Dash! This was an excellent afternoon game on a Sunday versus in-state rivals the Kinston Indians. I cannot say that I was disappointed in my decision in kicking off in one of two minor league teams in the … Read more
