Baseball Caps


Dear journal,

I didn't start out intending to collect hats from all the places I've visited, but it's turned into a fun past time and one I especially enjoy now that I have a way to display my hats as a memento of this baseball pilgrimage. Here's the lineup, in order of my visits:

1. Kansas City Royals - Kauffman Stadium
2. Arkansas Razorbacks - Baum–Walker Stadium
3. St. Louis Cardinals - Busch Stadium II
4. New York Mets - Shea Stadium
5. New York Yankees - Yankee Stadium (1923)
6. Springfield Cardinals - Hammons Field
7. NW Arkansas Naturals - Arvest Ballpark
8. Kansas City Monarchs - The Field of Legends
9. Chicago Cubs - Wrigley Field
10. Savannah Bananas - The Field of Legends
11. Washington Nationals - Nationals Park
12. Quad Cities River Bandits - Modern Woodmen Park
13. Omaha Storm Chasers - Werner Park
14. Joplin Outlaws - Joe Becker Memorial Stadium
15. St. Louis Cardinals- Busch Stadium III
16. San Diego Padres - Petco Park
17. Colorado Rockies - Coors Field
18. Birmingham Black Barons - Rickwood Field
19. Cincinnati Reds - Great American Ball Park
20. Cleveland Guardians - Progressive Field
22. Pittsburgh Pirates - PNC Park
23. Forbes Field - Pittsburgh, PA
24. Exposition Park III - Pittsburgh, PA
25. Doubleday Field - The Baseball Hall of Fame

I still need to pick up hats for a few other teams: the Carthage Tigers, MSSU Lions, Joplin Eagles, and Tulsa Drillers. And, expand my hat wall again!

Ready for the next game,

Dave
