Day Two, Game One: New York Mets
Our first stop, New York Mets. This is the last year from the famous Shea Stadium. The new one looks beautiful. We left the Hilton and headed via shuttle to the bus, which took us to the Port Authority where the boys enjoyed New York's famous subway.
Logan and Coulson were so excited! It was an extremely exciting game so we left at the top of the 8th inning to head back on the subway, it was a long day. When we arrived back at our hotel we found out the Mets ended up losing to the Twins in the 9th. The boys had their fill of hot dogs and popcorn.
Day Three, Game Two: New York Yankees
Our second stop, New York Yankees. As many of you know this is the last year for "The House that Ruth Built."
This day could not have been any more muggy! For a minute you thought that you were in South Carolina or something it was so muggy! I felt bad for the players and all those vendors. Let me tell you, each one of those vendors earned every tip they make. Climbing the stairs at Yankee stadium is for the birds. For all what its worth, sometimes free tickets aren't always what it is made out to be...we were grateful for the tickets and we can say we were at the stadium before it was torn down.
We are starting to collect a baseball hat from each stadium.
Wednesday after the Yankee game, we hop back into the car and head for Pittsburgh but decided to stay half way outside of Harrisburg. The next morning we finish our drive into Pittsburgh.
Day Four, Game Five: Pittsburgh Pirates
Pittsburgh was my favorite stadium. The weather was perfect for a game but everyone around was very friendly, even to the Bain boys who were wearing Cubby gear. After all a few weeks prior the Cubs beat up on them pretty good.
Day Five, Game Four: Cleveland.
Cleveland was great. We had great seats, sat next to a couple from Barrington, IL. They were doing baseball park tours also. When we arrived to the Indians stadium, we were a little early but were able to watch batting practice. Coulson was fortunate to receive a ball from Riveria. Logan, the competitive one, was a little jealous. When the Twins were out he kept yelling. "What about the little kid?" I think they were tired of hearing and just tossed a ball. Logan was satisfied.
Ice cream before the game.
Logan doing his splits, he'll do this anywhere.

Happy boys!Day Six, we were home! All three of the Bain Boy's enjoyed the baseball road trip, 2008. The season isn't over yet, we could hit a couple more.

Looks like so much fun - we recently had our first experience at Wrigley Field - of course after their winning streak we were there when they lost -- but we had fun nonetheless. Great to see the photos, thanks for sharing!
Great blog you got going, Holli.
A good way for us down-staters to keep up with the Bain family in hyper-drive. Hope this finds you all in good health and look forward to seeing you on your next sojurn to the Illinois River Valley.
