Bill Simmons perfectly captured why our trip this summer is going to be special and why our homage to baseball and its culture is unique in sports.From his most recent mailbag:
"We have been having the same conversation about Freddie Lynn since I was 13. He should have stayed. These are the things you think about when your entire life is flashing before your eyes. Football is more popular, basketball is more marketable, hockey is more exciting, soccer means more throughout the world. But baseball has a way of making you think about everything that ever happened to you, every conversation you ever had, every place you ever lived, everything."
Over a 38 day stretch during the summer of 2012, four Middlebury College students embarked on the journey of a lifetime driving around the country to see a game at all 30 Major League Baseball stadiums in just 38 days. This experience was so much more than just a road trip, and we wanted to share the highlights from every extra inning nail-biter, overnight drive, Ozzie Guillen press conference, and intra-car political debate (it was an election year, after all) with all of you!
