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.

Tallest pitcher, shortest batter. Eddie Gaedel had a 1 1/2" strike zone!
Left Boston on a great drive through Massachusetts and New York toward Cooperstown, New York and the Baseball Hall of Fame. Spent the afternoon looking at baseball shops and old fields and buildings in Cooperstown. Will visit the Hall of Fame tomorrow before heading off to Cleveland!
Brandon does not look very happy to be meeting Ted Williams, although Knucle Steve looks right at home next to his Yankee buddies.....:) I love the Randy Johnson picture....That's amazing.
