Was at All-Star week in Cincy. Home-Run Derby was probably the most fun I've ever had at a sporting event. Frazier will forever be a Reds folk-hero. All-Star game was fun, seeing Trout lead-off with a homer and Chapman striking out three in a row was memorable.
Sucks that the Reds are getting ready to go on a fire-sale. Just hope they can get some valuable pieces for the future.

I got my first kidney stone at GABP. I won't go back because of it. True story.

Dang...that would make for a rough night at the ballpark. I've seen over 30 games at least at GABP...but it's the closest MLB park from my home-town and I love the Reds.

I was at Games 4 and 5 of the 2012 NLDS.
You got off light with the kidney stone.
Ha!
Had a buddy at all 3 of those losses in 2012 in the playoffs. I actually had tickets for the NLCS that year if they had made it. Seen the Reds get eliminated in 2010 in the 1st round and seen the Bengals get eliminated in 2013 in the 1st round...I won't go to another Cincinnati playoff event unless one of them has made it past the 1st round.

In the quest to get to all 30 active ballparks, hitting #22 today - US Cellular for the White Sox-Royals doubleheader. Then #23 tomorrow - Bucs at Brewers, go Bucs.

The Yankees begin a six-game homestand on Tuesday night against the Red Sox. The series finale against the White Sox was their last game of the regular season outside of the Eastern time zone.
Wow. That's a pretty good advantage for an old guy team.

The Red Sox, not that it matters because they suck this year, only leave for a three game series at the White Sox later this month. Every other game they have is in Eastern time.
Some regarded pitching prospect named Henry Owens is starting for us Tuesday against the Yanks. Will be good to see how the younger guys play out the rest of the year. Let's see what Boston has coming for next year...

I'm in a very deep 16-team fantasy baseball league that involve keepers....picked him up in the draft last winter. Hoping he pans out.

I did them all with my son and a couple of other dads and their sons. We stopped at Field of Dreams between Chicago and Milwaukee. It was the one day Kevin Costner showed up for a Netflix promotion. Costner and the kids played a game with him pitching. I'm not a huge fan of his movies but he is a legit baseball fan in a big way. His wife was bored to tears to be in a cornfield in Iowa. Our wives were pissed they skipped that trip for the California trip later that summer. I would be interested to hear your top 5 or 6 parks when you're done. Enjoy!
Currently the top 5:
1. Pittsburgh (I'm biased, go Bucs, but it's also awesome) 2. Baltimore 3. Dodgers 4. Giants 5. Cleveland

I loved Camden when I went. Probably my #1 or #2 (I also adored Target Field). I haven't been to the other four. A life goal of mine is to make it to all 30 teams' ballparks.
I'm surprised I've never been to AT&T because I've been to SF four times. I went to the Coliseum in Oakland two of those times.

Target Field is great, I was just there for the Bucs 2 game sweep of the Twins last week, I think I've been to about 5 games there. I also really like Petco, Minute Maid, Miller, US Cellular, Citi Field...
I can't imagine anyone not liking Camden! The Warehouse gives it a great hallmark, the outfield seats are great, good food/beer options (natty bo FTW, great atmosphere outside the stadium...

I have tickets to the Cole-Kershaw matchup in Pittsburgh tonight. I bought on Tuesday for like $70/each. They are going for $130/each today on Stubhub, such is the excitement in Pittsburgh for this game. I am pretty pumped, let's go Bucs.

I actually caught the Pedro walkoff on Snapchat and added it to my snap story, it's pretty cool.
I'm super late to join the party in this thread... sorry about that. I'm a Tigers fan and I got to as many games as possible. I read through some of the previous comments and saw some Cubs fans here... I'm planning to go to the Tigers/Cubs game at Wrigley on the 19th, any Chicago friends have plans to be there?

If I didn't work that day I would probably go :/ however I am down chill with anybody who may be in the city/around and wants to meet up!

For sure! I kind of packed that Saturday. Going to the baseball game in the afternoon then trying to catch most of the Montreal vs. Toronto MLS match. I hear that BMO field is one the best, if not the best place to see a game.
But definitely, I'll be with at least one other roo-er and we'll be looking for some fun stuff to do so I can message you.

I was thinking the other day, about how the Red Sox have been playing well recently even though their season doesn't terribly matter towards playoffs or anything important.
Boston has some good pieces in place for the future - at least on offense. I was happy that they could move Victorino and Napoli, so to be able to play other pieces and see if they could be future contributors. Jackie Bradley Jr. is on a hot streak lately, and who knows if it can last - but I'm happy he's being given another chance. Hopefully he gets the rest of the season to try and prove himself, ditto Rusney Castillo. Castillo was signed to a $72M contract a year or so ago, but had been sitting in Pawtucket (AAA) much of this year trying to get adjusted to the American game. On his most recent callup, he's been starting to come together as well.
The Hanley Ramirez in LF experiment needs to end, and as long as JBJ can keep contributing offensively as well as defensively - it will be a good time to move Hanley over to 1B. Right now Travis Shaw is hitting well and filling Napoli's hole well, but can that be sustained? Is Shaw really the 1B of the future? And besides, we're not paying Hanley all this money to be the worst left fielder in the bigs. It sucks to be Shaw, but at least until Ortiz retires and the DH spot opens up - HanRam should probably go to 1B.
Brock Holt is still the man. He won't get a regular position, but should get plenty of playing time filling in for off-days and injuries.
The Red Sox really should not do much on the offensive side this upcoming offseason. If things go wrong, make a mid-season move next year. I believe everyone is under team control for next year too.
If I were to pick the lineup for 2016, I'd go with:
C - Swihart / C. Vasquez
1B - HanRam
2B - Pedroia
SS - Bogaerts
3B - Fat Panda
LF - R. Castillo
CF - Betts
RF - JBJ
DH - Ortiz
Pitching: What. A. Mess.
I know the front office have (had) hard-ons for players under 30 willing to take four year contracts. With that said, Boston's stuck with Rick fucking Porcello for a few more years at 21M a year to be the most overpaid 5th starter in the game. That spot should have gone to Steven Wright, if looking within the current system. Wade Miley is ok at SP 3/4. Buchholz should of been traded, but had his annual injury show up weeks before the deadline. Joe Kelly is proof they got fucked over on that John Lackey trade. No idea if Uehara is coming back from this injury/age. They need to BADLY go out and get an ace this upcoming offseason, and probably half a bullpen while they're at it. It would not surprise me if some of the young hyped pitchers got moved for a more well known and proven name: E-Rod, Owens, Brian Johnson, etc...
