If you'd done the 30 grounds in 30 days then i'd have been impressed  :P

You try getting from New York City to Toronto in a day in a minibus. ;)

Our two non-game nights were spent in a) a roadside motel near Rochester and b) an absolute dive of a hotel near Tampa

At the time we held the record. I think it’s now down to 28 days because someone was able to double up in NYC and Chicago.

I’ve met a couple of blokes who were doing all 30 by bicycle over three months

A third no-hitter of his career for Justin Verlander

I'm starting to think the Sox may not repeat...

I think he only had one walk as well which makes the performance even more special.

Possibly the best baseball stat of all time.

Bruce Bochy has managed in the Major Leagues from 1995-2019.

His Won/Loss record is 1995-2019 😳

Classy club the A's.

And heading for a wild card game now Manaea is back, Puk is back, Baby Jesus has hit the majors, Chaptain America keeps playing platinum glove 'ball and Murphy is becoming the catcher we all hoped he'd be.

Thanks to everyone for all the pre-game tips! We’re here now at Yankee Stadium...it’s 29 deg, blue skies and the Yankees have already hit a few home runs against the Blue Jays. Time for a few beers and a hot dog! 😎🍺👍






ps. I won’t let the shit result at Arsenal ruin the day!

The seats were bang on UKR...excellent view of the game and it was a scorching hot day so the shade under the roof near the top saved us from getting sun burnt! 😎👍

I've only ever seen one baseball game - the Mariners versus the Astros while I was in Seattle, and unfortunately it was awful, which was a shame as I think it's something I could quite enjoy on a nice sunny day.  Just happened to get a boring game.

Was that in the current ballpark with sliding roof or the old dome ?

Safeco Field on September 4th, 2017.  It ended 2-6 to the Astros.

I was at a game during the first season at Safeco back in 2000 when it started raining. The sliding roof got stuck and the grounds crew didn't seem to know how to use the tarp. This was the first rain delay at a MLB game in Seattle since 1969 :)
