Nah, just an announcement. Maybe next summer though.
So in 2018 you may remember I went on a roadtrip to the National when it was in Cleveland. And I've been planning on going to the 2022 show as well. Even though it was moved from Cleveland when it appeared the IX Center was closing (spoiler alert: it's not anymore!) and moved to Atlantic City, I'm still planning on repeating the trip with Arron, but a week longer this time.
Yes, it's officially on.
The affiliated minor league schedules have dropped, and here's what we're looking at potentially doing...
FRIDAY JULY 22: Birmingham Barons at Rocket City Trash Pandas
SATURDAY JULY 23: St. Louis Cardinals at Cincinnati Reds or St. Paul Saints at Indianapolis Indians
SUNDAY JULY 24: Columbus Clippers at Toledo Mud Hens or Erie Seawolves at Akron Rubber Ducks
MONDAY JULY 25: Off Day at Cedar Point
TUESDAY JULY 26: Reading Fightin' Phils at Erie Seawolves
WEDNESDAY JULY 27: National
THURSDAY JULY 28: National; indy league?
FRIDAY JULY 29: National; Jersey Shore Blue Claws at Wilmington Blue Rocks
SATURDAY JULY 30: National; indy league?
SUNDAY JULY 31: National; indy league?
MONDAY AUGUST 1: Off Day at Baseball Hall of Fame
TUESDAY AUGUST 2: Durham Bulls at Worcester Red Sox, Richmond Flying Squirrels at New Hampshire Fisher Cats, or Erie Seawolves at Portland Sea Dogs
WEDNESDAY AUGUST 3: Durham Bulls at Worcester Red Sox, Richmond Flying Squirrels at New Hampshire Fisher Cats, or Erie Seawolves at Portland Sea Dogs
THURSDAY AUGUST 4: totally depends on game times
FRIDAY AUGUST 5: Pittsburgh Pirates at Baltimore Orioles (IF Boog Powell is back in Baltimore)
SATURDAY AUGUST 6: totally depends on game times
SUNDAY AUGUST 7: totally depends on game times
MONDAY AUGUST 8: Off Day, hell if I know what we'll do!
TUESDAY AUGUST 9: totally depends on game times; likely Lynchburg Hillcats at Charleston River Dogs
WEDNESDAY AUGUST 10: totally depends on game times
THURSDAY AUGUST 11: totally depends on game times
FRIDAY AUGUST 12: Northwest Arkansas Naturals at Arkansas Travelers
SATURDAY AUGUST 13: San Antonio Missions at Frisco Roughriders
The days of the National could also see us hitting games in the independent Atlantic and/or Frontier Leagues, or the College Development League depending on what teams are at home. Teams nearby include Staten Island, Lancaster, Sussex County, New York Boulders, New Jersey Jackals, and Trenton.
We're trying to limit to only driving 300 miles a day at most. Five days in August are currently wide open with so many teams all lumped close together in the northeast and on down to the Carolinas. And even the Pirates-Orioles game is open to change. I have two cards I need Boog Powell to sign. If he's not going to be there, we'll check out something else. We may also be able to do a few two-a-days if afternoon games happen to pop up.
Lastly for anyone looking to follow along with what I've been getting signed lately, a few links...
