Hollywood Four Baseball Travels

Last night the Hollywood Four went to the minor league Lake Erie Crushers baseball game in Avon, OH. This was the 50th unique professional baseball stadium that this Hollywood Dad has visited (29 major league ball parks; and 21 minor league ball parks). This doesn't include two spring training ballparks in Arizona, and is in addition to some other important baseball sites that we have visited: Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, Field of Dreams, Louisville Slugger factory, and one World Series game. The rest of the Hollywood Four are not far behind, with Karen having visited 41 of these same stadiums, Abby having visited 34 of them, and Andrew having visited 30. You can click the image in the upper right to see a full chronology of our baseball travels. This summer we plan on visiting at least three new ball parks: Frederick Keys, Harrisburg Senators and Altoona Curve.

In true Hollywood style, the video below showcases the history of our travels to all of these baseball ball barks and sites. For the more recent stuff, I included actual photographs we took. However, I didn't feel like scanning our older photographs that were taken before digital photography.
