California Dreamin'

Are you starting to get that itch? Have you found yourself yearning for a hot dog, peanuts and a beer? Do you hear the roar of a crowd as a bat connects with the ball, sending 400-plus feet over the outfield wall?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, your are one of many suffering from the MLB offseason. But fear not! The 2016 season is drawing near!

The countdown

Pitchers and catchers report: 7 days (Some teams begin as early as Feb. 17)
First spring training game: 18 days (Phillies exhibition game)
MLB Opening Night: 53 days (Cardinals @ Pirates; Blue Jays @ Rays; Mets @ Royals)
First game of our 2016 tour: 119 days

We are definitely feeling the anticipation that comes with a new baseball season, and as we begin planning our trip, our excitement builds even more!

Alright! This season we are visiting four stadiums — the most we've done in one trip since we began this journey. Those ballparks are: Dodger Stadium (Los Angeles Dodgers), Angel Stadium of Anaheim (Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim), Petco Park (San Diego Padres), Chase Field (Arizona Diamondbacks). In addition, we are making a stop in the city of Las Vegas.

We have already picked out the dates and the games we are going to see. Now, if you have any sights, activities, or attractions you would like to suggest we partake in, please let us know! Leave a comment, Tweet at us, or, if you know us, text us!

We are so excited to get this journey underway! We'll post some updates on the season, some information on the stadiums we are going to visit, and maybe even relive some of the past adventures from our journey.
