Steve Adolph and Matt Leuck loved baseball. So, in the summer of 1997, they made plans to tour our country’s ballparks when Matt's son, Brandon graduated high school. In the summer of 1998, Matt was diagnosed with brain cancer. He died February of '99. This summer of 2011, Steve and 19-year-old Brandon leave for that trip. Mid-trip, they will meet Brandon's sister, Lauren, along with Steve's g-daughter, daughter, and wife in DC for sightseeing and more baseball. This is an account of that trip.
Cool pics in the HOF!

Looks like you are starting your "new city, new ballpark" each day journey... Get your energy drinks ready:-)
They look very tired..I'm certain it's worth it.
ReplyDeleteOh... I'm sure it is well worth it!!
ReplyDeletePittsburgh will wake them up, beautiful ballpark and city... I think I want to move there!
The confluence of the Monongahela, Allegheny, & Ohio Rivers, who wouldn't want to live there?? :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is my favorite "modern day" ballpark with the Roberto Clemente Bridge and skyline in the background!!
Better yet... The DBacks will be playing there Wednesday!
$2600 for Babe Ruth's contract? It seems like it would be so much more!
ReplyDeleteMark Grace said there are 446 bridges in Pittsburgh! Wow! What a great way to show off their steel!
