This blog began as a log of our summer 2009 road trip to all the Major League Baseball ballparks and a few other baseball themed stops. I will continue to update it with posts about ballparks and other baseball related things we experience.

Car Sticker Update: Boston Red Sox
At the Boston Red Sox game we got a sticker with the Boston Red Sox logo with the red socks in the middle of the circle.Now that the Boston Red Sox sticker is on the American League side of the car that side is getting quite full. Only three more teams to see in the American League, so it is not like we need that much more space on this side. Good thing there are fewer American League teams than National League, as it seems a lot of the bigger stickers we ended up with are American League, especially the Seattle Mariners one.

Kj's Baseball Collection: Fenway Park
One of the two baseballs I got at Fenway Park is a blue baseball. This one says Fenway Park on one side and Built in 1912 on the other side. The other strip of the ball has a view of the field. It is different than many of the other balls of field views, as it shows the infield and not just an outfield view that could be any park since the Green Monster is also obviously there.
Mik's Mini Bat Collection: Red Boston Red Sox
The second mini bat Mik got at Fenway Park is a regular Boston Red Sox logo one. He choose the one that is red on the top half and natural on the bottom half. The main reason for the color choice being his favorite color is red, but it also seemed fitting to have a red mini bat for a team with red in their name. The mini bat has the circle with red socks in it Boston Red Sox logo.

Mik’s Food Scrapbook: Fenway Park
Mik did not have much to eat at the actual game, but where we ate before the game is still sort of in Fenway Park. Game On is located in one of the corners of Fenway Park, although it can only be accessed from outside the park. Here Mik got Fish & Chips. They were not that good in his opinion and he did not even eat much of them. He did, however, fill up on helping eat the brownie sundae I ordered.
At the game I had a Lobster Roll and Mik tried a bite of it. He did not like it, but that is because it was his first time trying lobster and he now knows he just does not like lobster. He did admit the bun/bread was very good. It was the same type of bun the hot dogs were on and if he had been hungry he would have gotten a hot dog. He thought they could not be too bad of hot dogs because the bun is so awesome.
Normally I get the ice cream in a helmet, but this time Mik got it. At Fenway they serve it with the most ice cream we have ever seen in a helmet and it was still only $5. The ice cream is not all that special, as it is just soft serve, but at least you really get your money’s worth.

A Second Atlanta Braves Game Added to Itinerary
When I was looking at the Braves schedule about a month ago I noticed they are retiring Greg Maddux's number the day after we already were going to the game on July 16, 2009. It has been annoying me for a while that we were missing the number retiring by one day. I finally decided we should just stay in Atlanta one more day, see the number retire, hit the road for the D.C. area, and the Nats game the next night.
Today Dad called and got us seats for the game. For once we decided to go for the best handicap seats available, which really do not sound all that amazing, as they were only $30 a piece. Should be interesting to compare the two different sections, though. I assume the number will be retired before the game, so we will probably not stay for the game since we will have already seen the game the day before.
