Welcome to 30 in 24

Author’s note: writing a blog is not as easy as we thought and we are experiencing some growing pains. Please be patient as we figure all of this out. In other words, everything may not work correctly, especially the links to the pages. Please check back frequently!

We are John and Mary Krisch. For a long time, one of our Bucket List items was to visit all 30 MLB parks in a single season. The time has finally come to check it off of our list!

You are invited to follow us on this ‘once in a lifetime journey.’

As we visit every ballpark we plan to give you our assessment of that ballpark. Some of the things we will take into consideration are; concessions, ticket price, parking, cleanliness (especially the bathrooms!) and scoreboard. If there is something else you would like us to consider, please leave a suggestion.

If you don’t want to miss anything please consider signing up for notifications.

This is how it all started…

We met at St. Joseph’s College in Rensselaer, Indiana. Mary owes her love of baseball to her Dad and Dziadzia. (Grandpa) They would sit and argue baseball for hours while Mary sat, listened and absorbed the nuances of the game.

John found his love for the game a little later than most young boys. He started playing at the ripe old age of 13. He enjoyed a long career playing high school, college and amateur ball after graduating from college.

John obviously played baseball at St. Joe. When the scorekeeper job opened up for the team, Mary jumped at the chance. This allowed her to travel with the team and spend more time with John! John enjoyed using part of Mary’s food allowance as his own.

It is also convenient that we both were Cub’s fans when they met. We both agree that after the wedding and the birth of our children, November 2/3, 2016 is the best day of our lives!
