Twins Road Trips with Ballpark Tours

[John Bonnes]

Back when The Met closed, a few guys started doing summer trips to see outdoor baseball, and it eventually became Ballpark Tours, organized by Julian Loscalzo and Sammy Samuelson. Sammy passed a few years ago (marking the end of their legendary Hot Stove Banquet) but Loscalzo is still doing a couple of tours, including one last year to Cuba. I came across this years' trips, and thought I'd pass them along. I can't personally vouch for them, but I know several people who have enjoyed them, in a counter-culture kind of way. Here's the high level view and you can find more info and how to sign up with the attached pdf.

 

Windy City Hiatus

Rocky Mountain High Redux
August 3–12, 2018
7 GAMES • 3 CITIES • 10 DAYS

Nothing like watching the sun set over the Rockies while taking in a ballgame. Explore entertainment districts of Omaha (Market Square) and Denver (Lodo), both walking distance from our downtown hotels. KC gives you plenty of brews, blues, and BBQ options, topped off by the Cards/Royals I-70 rivalry—and don’t forget the Jazz and Negro League Museums. You won’t come off this baseball high until the playoffs start!

And yes, we've talked quite a bit about some Twins Daily trips in the future. I don't think it'll be this year, but I'd sure love to do some of these as the nest gets emptier....
