Baseballpalooza 1 (Boston, 2002)

Well this started out as a mistake, The main objective was to do a Boston to Monteal trip. As the schedule didn't work to our favor, Boston was the only city on the schedule. A road trip ensued to visit the confines of Fenway Park as Pedro Martinez took on the Devil Rays. Suffice it say the Red Sox won and a new annual road trip was born.

Baseballpalooza 2 (Balt-Pit-Cle-Det-Chic-Milw 2003)

The big one. 6 cities in 1 week or so. It was insane. I'll go in depth on this one when I have time. It was the ultimate palooza, the one where all rules were broken.

Baseballpalooza 3 (Philadelphia 2004)

A road trip out to the city of Brotherly Love. It rained. Philly fans were rude.Stadium was nice.

Baseballpalooza 4 (Washington 2005)

The nation's capital. RFK stadium is garbage. Nat fans are confused. Mets kick ass.

Baseballpalooza 5 (Toronto 2006)

The first international baseballpalooza. Toronto is an awesome city.

Baseballpalooza 6 (Atlanta 2007)

The first of 2 paloozas in the same year. We visit the dreaded Turner Field as the Mets took on the Braves. It was freakin cold in April.

Baseballpalooza 7 (Cincinnati 2007)

Mets vs Reds @ the Great American Ballpark. Cincinnati is a nice little city.
