Ok as 7 of you know, I was on a week hiatus but I didn't tell anyone where I was going partially because I didn't feel like it but I brought back some good stories.

 I went to Miami, Tampa, and Atlanta. Why? Its one of my (achievable) life goal's to visit every MLB team's stadium. So far I have went to

Pittsburgh (obviously)

Cleveland (obviously)

New York Yankees

Washington Nationals

Cincy Reds

Texas Rangers and the ones I hit this trip were

Florida Marlins

Tampa Bay D'Rays (Yes, D'Rays)

and

Atlanta Braves

So far I have nine and at every stadium I get a mini helmet as a souvenir.

The Marlins game was first and one of the best. Hanley hit a homer in the 9th to tie it and Willingham hit a walk off shot to beat the nats.

The D'Rays game was by far the best. They played the Red Sox and the whole time me and my cousins and the about 20 D Rays fans around us yelled at the Boston... excuse me.... bandwagon fans and we sent those cry babies packing. I am serious a grown man was sitting down about to cry. At least there was some great sportsmanship exhibited as all the bandwagon fans poured out. Some trying to leave undetcted while others chanted about how the rays suck and wont be in first for long.

and the last game was Phillies Braves and I wore my way old school Jim Thome jersey and was pullin for the Phils because like any real Pitt fan (not roy lol) hates the Braves with a passion. We got to the game early for BP and jimmy rollins ball touched my glove but I had no chance of getting it at any point because i like took off my glove to reach farther but it was sweet and i talked to Ryan Howard. Hes gigantic up close and I got within arms length of him it was pretty sick and my favorite part came here. Howard was playing catch and had a bad throw and said "damnit". I dno you guys might think its weird but hearing Howard swear is a damn good story to tell.

Anyway, Im leaving out huge chunks of the story but im not typing too much. we stopped in the glades and saw some up close gators and went to Florida Gators stadium while it was empty went right by the field and ran up all the bleechers.

And I didn't mean to offend any REAL Red Sox fans but when I see a truck with a license plate of Florida with Red Sox stickers all over it... yeah thats bandwagon city.

Hit up Camden Yards. It's probably the one that everyone needs to visit sometime.

I've been to Camden Yards and Safeco.
