Target Field, Minneapolis, Minnesota

We must have picked the coldest day of our stay in Minneapolis to attend the baseball game at Target Field between the Minnesota Twins and Boston Red Sox. Baseball weather is supposed to be warm and pleasant, and conducive to shorts and t-shirts, not the 4 layers, ski socks, boots, gloves, hat and scarf I donned to keep warm on this more frigid night at the Ball Park. Did I mention the hand warmers? Brrrr! Still, we had a good time, and the game was exciting up until the very end with the Twins finally bringing it home at the bottom of the 9th inning with a final score of Twins 8, Sox 6. The Ball Park is set right in the middle of downtown Minneapolis, and the skyline made for some interesting pictures, as well as the full moon coming up between the skyscrapers that night. This is the 17th Major League Baseball Park we've visited, and we hope to pick up at least a couple more before the season is over.

Globe Life Park, Arlington, Texas

The last thing we did before leaving the Dallas area was attend a baseball game at Globe Life Park in Arlington, Texas to watch a game between the Texas Rangers in their home park with the Houston Astros. Not being aligned with either team, it was easy to just relax and enjoy the game, rooting for the home team, or not, drinking beer, and eating peanuts. Wonderful spring days don't get much better than this! Ultimately the Astros won, in the 10th inning, with a final score of Astros 6, Rangers 5. Exciting for all the fans, on both sides. This is the 16th major league baseball park we've visited, putting us on the downhill slide of getting to all 30 parks before we come off the road. Each park has something making it a little bit unique, with each visit to each new park something to look forward to. Here are some pictures from the April 12th game.

Chase Field, Phoenix, Arizona

Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona, was the 15th Major League Baseball stadium we were lucky enough to visit, on April 3, 2014. We felt even luckier yet, since the Diamondbacks were playing the San Francisco Giants, and of course we are Giants fans! And, best of all, the Giants won! It wasn't a runaway win, but in the 8th inning Pagan hit a 3-run homer, putting the final score at Giants 8, D-Backs 5. Go Giants!!! Here are some pictures from Chase Field.
