Summer Adventure – Baseball Style

On an average day in April a crazy summer adventure began with a simple question and conversation (that went very similar to this):

“You know what we should do?”

“What?”

“We should see a game in all the minor league ballparks in North Carolina.”

As the kids say (or text) IYKYK (if you know you know) that Gayle loves baseball, and Jenn is a sucker for Gayle’s hairbrained ideas and so this summer baseball adventure/goal began. Jenn didn’t take much convincing, especially when she decided that she could rate the hot dogs in each park for an added bonus.

 

 

And so the challenge was accepted, and the adventure began!

 

 

 

 

First step, how many minor league teams are there in NC?

 

(Take a guess before you look at the answer.)

 

 

ANSWER – 10

Here they are-

Ashville Tourists

Carolina Mudcats

Charlotte Knights

Down East Wood Ducks

Durham Bulls

Fayetteville Woodpeckers

Greensboro Grasshoppers

Hickory Crawdads

Kannapolis Cannon Ballers

Winston-Salem Dash

We have been to ballgames in some of the parks previously the Winston-Salem Dash, the Durham Bulls, the Greensboro Grasshoppers, and the Wood Ducks in Kinston, but, in pure Tabor fashion, we decided it would be a fun idea to see a home game in each stadium in one season.

And 10 is certainly a reasonable number to get to in one season, but it will take some coordination since summer is a busy time of life for us and this is not the only thing we will be doing this summer (hopefully we’ll share those adventures here as well)

But who doesn’t love summer evenings outside watching some baseball?

So we invite you in to follow us on this adventure right here on Tabor Adventures blog!
