So far we have done. AT&T Park-San Francisco Giants McAfee Stadium- Oakland A's New Yankee Stadium-NY Yankees
This year we are going to do: Safeco Field- Seattle Mariners July .19th Maybe this year Dodger Stadium- LA Dodgers in May
2011 If the Schedule works Fenway Park- Boston Redsox Citizens bank Park-Philadelphia Phillies Citi Field- NY Mets
2012 If Schedule works Wrigley Field- Chicago Cubs US cellular Field- Chicago white Soxs Busch Stadium- STL Cardinals
We Also hope to follow the Giants on a road trip for a week in the next year or two to take care of a couple of more parks.
Anyone else every consider doing this?

My son has always enjoyed baseball. He played through high school so Mrs. Nola has warmed to it also. I want to make sure my son sees the older parks before they disappear. We saw both the Tigers and Yankees at their old stadiums in their last year of play. Here is my current list which I hope to expand rapidly over the next few years.
Current stadiums Los Angeles Dodgers Baltimore Orioles Tampa Bay Rays Florida Marlins Boston Red Sox Cleveland Indians Demolished or prior stadiums
Baltimore Orioles Detroit Tigers Cleveland Indians New York Yankees Texas Rangers Houston Astros Atlanta Braves

Great run there Nola.
I had been on strike against MLB since the strike shortened season of 1994. Didn't watch or listen to a game until 2006 during the playoffs. When the Giants sent that human turd Barry Bonds packing in 2007 I really got back in.
Last year Denice and I decided that we want to over time to visit all the Parks in MLB. Hopefully we will be able to do so. Wish I could have seen some of those old one before they got torn down.

A few years back, a college buddy of mine went around the country to visit some of the old ballparks before they were demolished. He didn't take his wife. I don't know if she appreciated that or if she was angry.

Since she likes the game almost as much as I do, I would be in real deep poo poo if I didn't take Denice along. Joe

That is a grand plan Merlot. A review of each would be great for those of us who don't get there.....
