Part 1 – the Eastern Swing

17 games in seventeen days.  The driving is actually relatively compact… but don’t forget to bring your passport.

  • MON., JUNE 19.  MARLINS STADIUM, MIAMI.

The Marlins host the Washington Nationals to open this escapade.  If you want to sneak in an extra game by starting in Atlanta, the Braves will be hosting these Marlins on Sunday the 18th.

  • TUE., JUNE 20.  TROPICANA FIELD, ST. PETE, FL.

Inter-league play today with the Cincinnati Reds coming to Florida.

  • WED., JUNE 21.  SUNTRUST PARK, ATLANTA, GA.

The San Francisco Giants are in Atlanta for their first look at SunTrust Park as Summer began early in the wee hours of this morning.

  • THR., JUNE 22.  CITIZENS BANK PARK, PHILADELPHIA.

Get your red gear on as the Cardinals visit the Phillies

  • FRI., JUNE 23.  FENWAY PARK, BOSTON.

Speaking of traveling long distances… the Angels will be in to start their only trip to Boston.

  • SAT., JUNE 24.  YANKEE STADIUM, NEW YORK.

The Texas Rangers will be in Yankee Stadium on this day.  It would have been nice to pick up the Mets on this weekend as well, but they left town before this traversal started… and won’t be back for a while.

  • SUN., JUNE 25.  NATIONALS PARK, WASHINGTON.

Our second look at the Cincinnati club already… and certainly not the last.  Still more ‘red’.

  • MON., JUNE 26.  PROGRESSIVE FIELD, CLEVELAND.

Let’s follow the Rangers, too, it seems.  They will join you in Cleveland after leaving the Yankees.

  • TUE., JUNE 27.  COMERICA PARK, DETROIT.

The Kansas City Royals will be in Detroit this date for a divisional tilt.

  • WED., JUNE 28.  ROGERS CENTRE, TORONTO.

A different divisional lash-up here as we venture into Canada across the Great Lakes.

  • THR., JUNE 29.  PNC PARK, PITTSBURGH.

Back into the USA, the Pirates will be hosting the Tampa Bay Rays.

  • FRI., JUNE 30.  CITI FIELD, NEW YORK.

Okay, the Mets are finally back in town… they get the phightin’ Phillies.

  • SAT., JULY 1.  ORIOLE PARK AT CAMDEN YARDS, BALTIMORE.

A third look already at the Rays in one of my favorite venues.

  • SUN., JULY 2.  GREAT AMERICA BALLPARK, CINCINNATI.

The Reds (again) will host the the World Champion Cubs in this weekend set.

  • MON., JULY 3.  BUSCH STADIUM, ST. LOUIS.

The Cardinals will play host to the Nationals.

  • TUE., JULY 4.  WRIGLEY FIELD, CHICAGO.

A great place to spend the 4th of July.  But believe it or not, it’s the Rays again for a fourth time in this initial segment.

  • JULY 5.  MILLER PARK, MILWAUKEE.

The seventeenth game on the seventeenth day is here in Milwaukee against the Baltimore Orioles as we suddenly have a spate of inter-league games.  After this… drive home and rest up for a week and a half.

Part of the fun in doing this is that there are certain parts of the season in which a ballpark traversal is just not possible.

During the first couple weeks of the season, the schedule makers want to get everyone their home openers, plus add off-days to insure rainouts can be accommodated.

The All-Star break is a natural barrier for similar reasons as teams are usually having short trips and homestands on both sides of the break.  Also, September tends to be a problematic month.

All of that means there are only a few windows of opportunity to schedule a trip like this… and it just didn’t work out well for 2017… so we’ll split it up.
