Has anyone here ever driven cross country and visited baseball stadiums along the way?

Ah yes, Denver in September.

I got married in Denver in September.

One of the best summers I ever had.

1980.

Yes, I have been told about the HOF and to go to Joe’s KC BBQ or Q39 before the game. I had not planned on going to the Museum but I might add that to the list.

The Louisville Slugger factory is a really fun place to experience. Hope you can make it!

[Lou]

For the life of me, I can't imagine how visiting the Louisville Slugger factory can be so enjoyable. I mean, they make bats.

It's not life-changing, but it's a cool experience.

Source: I was in Louisville (Lou-uh-vull) for a conference several years ago, and checked it out. As a baseball fan, it was an entertaining way to spend an hour.

Havent heard "loo-vull" in years.

Thanks for the bad memories.

My dentist has been doing this for years. He only has Tampa/Tropicana Field left to complete the entire MLB. He was supposed to go last week, but it was cancelled due to the Hurricane. He has to wait until next April/May before he completes his task.

I agree. I went. Took an hour. It was cool. That’s it.

it was interesting to see the process. on our tour, we got to hold a couple of the bats fresh off the rack, including one of arods. you also have the option to order a bat to your own specifics.

my favorite part was seeing all of the signature stamps they use. they had a special display for players who had been inducted into the HOF using a louisville slugger bat. that was pretty impressive to me.

I oughta knock your teeth out you Anti-dentite bastard

[eligrba4ever]

I intended to visit  parks one year, but the players went  on strike and I never got that itch again. 

Many selfies in front of shut gates.

I've stuck to Anaheim, The Ravine, San Diego, and the Bay Area since.

they also have a wall with all of the signatures of players they've made bats for. I could have spent an hour just going through this part. there was a separate display just for HOF players who used a Louisville slugger.

[Lou]

Wow. Signatures. 

That would rank right up there with visiting the Pyramids at Giza. 

[Jay]

It's gonna take more than a few signatures to get Lou out of his chair. Am I right?

Yep, and not even real signatures - stamps of a signature.

ha, the jokes on you! they're metal plates used to burn the signatures onto the wood, and then the wood was shellacked. what a maroon!
