Since 2014, I have posted baseball-related travel resolutions. If you want to see how I did meeting my 2014 resolutions, read about it here. Starting off January 1, I made four resolutions relating to visiting Minor League Baseball stadiums. In 2015, I resolve to attend @KCCougars game while visiting @ChooseChicago for #AAG2015, and hopefully share a beer with @MWLtraveler. — Steven Ericson (@geoSteven) January 1, 2015 I started the year off on a good note, as I did in fact attend a Kane County Cougars game, and I got to meet Craig Wieczorkiewicz. Craig operates The Midwest League Traveler, which covers appropriately enough, the Midwest League. The first day I…

My night with the Rome Braves – June 26, 2015
Over a year ago I made a New Year’s resolution to visit all four Minor League Baseball teams in Georgia. In 2014, I resolve to visit all four Georgia @MiLB teams: @GreenJackets, @GwinnettBraves, @TheRomeBraves, and @gnatsbaseball. #PlayBall — Steven Ericson (@geoSteven) January 1, 2014 I failed miserably because I only visited the Gwinnett Braves last year (read more here). Wanting to avoid a repeat, I did not make that resolution this year. However, this summer I finally fulfilled my goals and saw all four of Georgia’s Minor League Baseball teams in a single summer. After visiting Gwinnett, Augusta (read more here), and Savannah (read more here), I only had Rome left…

Revealing my 2015 ballpark resolutions
Last year I made resolutions to visit some Minor League Baseball stadiums and wrote about those resolutions on this blog (read the post here) and recapped my success-failure, too (read post here).

Without further ado, my 2015 MiLB travel resolutions are… In 2015, I resolve to attend @KCCougars game while visiting @ChooseChicago for #AAG2015, and hopefully share a beer with @MWLtraveler. — Steven Ericson (@geoSteven) January 1, 2015 Annually since 2010, I attend the Annual Meeting of the Association of American Geographers.

Revealing my 2014 ballpark resolutions
Last year I hoped to visit a handful of Minor League Baseball stadiums, and hit the mark on a few but missed on some others. This year I set some rather ambitious goals, but I’ve always aimed high when it comes to traveling. To make sure I’m accountable, I want to disclose my stadium visit goals for 2014. I’ve posted a handful of tweets breaking down my goals, and will share them here. The first goal is close to my heart as someone who grew up in Georgia. In 2014, I resolve to visit all four Georgia @MiLB teams: @GreenJackets, @GwinnettBraves, @TheRomeBraves, and @gnatsbaseball. #PlayBall — Steven Ericson (@geoSteven) January…

Georgia’s Minor League Baseball summer promotions
Summer is right around the corner as the school year finishes with Memorial Day weekend, and that means baseball season hits full stride, too. For parents and baseball fans looking for inexpensive and fun ways to spend their summer evenings, Georgia’s four minor league teams offer a variety of promotions. Minor league baseball is known for regular promotions like “Thirsty Thursday” or “Two-for-Tuesday,” but I wanted to focus on some of the unique promotions and giveaways that provide fans with a real reason to attend a game. Whether you want to check out your local team or make a road trip, there are tons of reasons for fans to flock…
