Comiskey Park (#3)

Brewers vs. White Sox
White Sox lose 2-3


The fans on the south side of Chicago do have strong support for their team, and a good location to boot. Our seats were very good for the price and from the looks of the "still-kind-of-new" Comiskey, a good majority of the seats are good ones. The Sox and central division rival Brewers played a great game that came right down to the last batter. A highlight from the game was a great diving catch by Tony Phillips in left field. An exciting game along with the spectacular weather made for a great evening in Comiskey Park.

Milwaukee County Stadium (#1)

Tigers vs. Brewers
Brewers lose 9-10

The first of our baseball journeys starts at the stadium closest to home. Our decision to begin the quest came early in the game while sitting in the bleachers. It was something to laugh at when I first heard the idea, but figured, why not? I love baseball and it would be a great way to see the country. Milwaukee has the appearance of an old metal stadium, not very attractive, but the parties that go on in the parking lot before and during the game take away from its looks.

The game was moderately exciting, Greg Vaughn hit a towering homer over the left field foul pole. One of the Tiger batters got a single off of a pitch that bounced about 3 feet in front of home plate. It seemed that the fact that he hit it confused just about everybody. The fans in the bleachers at County Stadium tend to get a little rowdy, but the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Dept. is quick to eject any troublemakers. Now we just have to decide where to go next.
