Baseball

I keep track of the baseball stadia I’ve been to, but today I realized I might want to see just how many teams I’ve seen play.

American League (8 of 14)

Baltimore Orioles: I’ve never seen them play, but I figure we will go to at least one Orioles game while we’re living in Washington.

Boston Red Sox: I’ve seen them play in Anaheim and Kansas City.

Chicago White Sox: Never seen.

Cleveland Indians: Never seen.

Detroit Tigers: I’ve seen them play the Royals twice.

Kansas City Royals: I’ve been to five Royals games and plan to go to another next month.

Los Angeles Angels: I’ve been to the Big A four times, I believe. (Once I was nearly run over by Gene Autry’s driver.)

Minnesota Twins: I think I saw them once in Milwaukee.

New York Yankees: Never seen them.

Oakland Athletics: Never seen them.

Seattle Mariners: I’ve seen them in Kansas City once.

Tampa Bay Rays: Never seen them.

Texas Rangers: Once in Kansas City.

Toronto Blue Jays: Once in Anaheim.

National League (9 of 16)

Arizona Diamondbacks: Never seen them.

Atlanta Braves: Once in Los Angeles, and once in Pittsburgh.

Chicago Cubs: Never seen them.

Cincinnati Reds: Twice in Los Angeles, and again next month in Kansas City.

Colorado Rockies: Never seen them.

Florida Marlins: Never seen them (but I might come this August).

Houston Astros: Once in Los Angeles.

Los Angeles Dodgers: Countless times at Dodger Stadium and once in Milwaukee.

Milwaukee Brewers: Twice, once as an American League team and once as a National League team.

New York Mets: Once in Los Angeles.

Philadelphia Phillies: Never seen them.

Pittsburgh Pirates: About a brazillion times. In Los Angeles, San Diego, Anaheim, Saint Louis, and Pittsburgh.

Saint Louis Cardinals: Once in Saint Louis, getting in to the new Busch Stadium for free in the eighth inning.

San Diego Padres: Once in San Diego.

San Francisco Giants: Never seen them.

Washington Nationals: Not yet, but we’re making plans to see them play the Marlins this August when we get to Washington.

So I’ve seen 17 of 30 professional baseball teams, and could very well see four or five more before the end of this season. That’s not too bad.

Was this whole post a ruse to show off your knowledge of Latin plural nouns? Suspicious. We all know you're a genius, save it for Trebek, dude! Don't waste it on poor schleps like myself. :-)
