First off, METS SUCK, YANKEES SWALLOW!!!! As a lifetime Phillie's fan, I have seen the best of times (1980, 2008), and the worst of times (1988-1992, 1994-2002). I have witnessed Phillie's greats like Michael Jack, Lefty, Rose, Utley, Howard, Rollins, but was in the stands when they trotted out our Steve's to name a few: Jeltz, Lake and Ontiveros. I have also heard the best, Whitey and Harry, and now maybe the worst, Wheels and Sarge (loved you as a player, but damn...).

In my posts, I will take you to the twenty six Major League ballparks that I have visited and usually the bars and establishments that are located in that city. I can also take questions regarding to roadtrips that anyone plans to take, except Muts fans. I have often found great hotels that are walking distance to the ballpark. Some, even have free "Happy Hours" before games! I have also found that Phillies Phans have the worst reputation, but when you talk to actual baseball people, they wish their fans had our passion. This season, I am also planning an August/ September trip to San Fran and Oak-town or Houston/ Texas. Maybe you guys can sway me either way. Well, lets play ball and...
