Trip 2003
Back in the summer of 2003, four men set out on a roadtrip to see (almost) all the major league ballparks on the west coast. "Trip 2003", as it was affectionately known, was a smashing success.
Using only a rental car and a turn-by-turn trip plan calculated by the new-fangled "MapQuest", Trip 2003 made stops in:
- Seattle (Seattle Mariners)
- Carmel, CA (for some fishin')
- Oakland (Oakland Athletics)
- Los Angeles (LA Dodgers)
- Anaheim (Los Angeles ofAmerica's Anaheim Angels)
- San Diego (San Diego Padres)
- Arizona (Arizona Diamondbacks)
- Las Vegas (??????, ???????, and a quick round of ????????)
Our only real plan for accommodations was to book our flights and our first hotel in Seattle. After that, we used Jason's trusty lap-top computer and Priceline.com to book rooms in whatever the next city was. Only in Anaheim did we find ourselves driving around aimlessly looking for a room, actually racing another weary group from hotel lobby to hotel lobby until we found a vacancy.
Trip was truly an amazing event.
