San Francisco Giants vs. Los Angeles Dodgers in Los Angeles, California

Road Trips

We have each been going to baseball games since we were kids. Pat happened to be a kid many years earlier than Tommy. In 2016 we made it a goal to see the Cubs play in every Major League stadium. We have started an annual pilgrimage to watch the Cubs on the road starting with Atlanta in 2016.   We have even been known to visit other stadiums when the Cubs are not the visiting team when opportunity allows. Below is a list of the stadiums we have visited.

Road Trip 2016: Atlanta

The Inaugural Baseball Road Trip took us to Atlanta. This was a trip of firsts and lasts as it was our first official road trip and our last visit to watch the Cubs play at Turner Field. I guess the stadium was just getting too old to play baseball in on a regular basis.  I would like to say as a Cubs fan that I can relate to that – I can not. Continue reading
