Houston, we have a problem…but its not with your 1,2 Baseball punch! Separated by just 23 miles, the Astros and Space Cowboys 🀠 share our Countrys fourth largest city…

23 miles is all that separates Constellation Field, home of the AAA Sugar Land Space Cowboys and the Astros MLB stadium 🏟.

When you finally get ” The Call πŸ“ž ” to the Show ” its a local call. Seattle and Tacoma have a similar situation out in the Pacific Northwest.

Getting to Round Rock, Texas earlier today completed the Class AAA Baseball ⚾️ Loop and the goal now for me is to not create any more Loops !!!

The AAA trek absolutely happened by accident over the years, until the past few weeks. Albuquerque, El Paso, Salt Lake City, Sugar Land and Round Rock were the remaining ones. Easy enough to finish off.

Softball is a more enjoyable watch for me but there’s something about the individualality ( not sure if that’s a real word) of the Baseball parks, at all levels.

MLB, AAA and four of the Class A leagues are among the 100+ ball parks that I’ve attended and each one is different from the previous ones.

Round Rock, home 🏑 of the Nolan Ryan Express.
Albuquerque, New Mexico
El Paso wins the Award for most original ways to feed their Fans !

In a few hours it will be an Early Bird 🐦 flight ✈️ out of Houston, 5am departure might be way to early Bird….

A quick stop βœ‹ over at Duke University and an important trip to The Hill on Thursday morning πŸŒ„.

Cool 😎 Scoreboard, rivals the one they have in Nashville…

Some of the Treks :

ACC Basketball πŸ€ arenas

ACC Football Stadiums 🏟

Major League and AAA Baseball ⚾️

All 41 NCAA Football 🏈 games

61 years of Duke University Football Bowl 🏈 games – easier than you think being there has only been 11.

Every golf β›³ course in the Old Dominon, playing each that I could talk my way on to.

Visiting all 50 πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡² States in the same calendar πŸ“… year.

WNBA arenas

Each college in the Commonwealth where Basketball πŸ€ is played.

Proof of that one, which was actually enjoyable !

It’s time to collect the final 7,000 steps πŸšΆβ€β™‚οΈ needed to keep the streak of 20K everyday going so its a great stopping point.

When is a win more than just a Win ?

Chuck Thompson started a chain β›“ reaction when the Principal of Carroll County High School convinced fellow Cavalier, Rick Nester to take over the Softball program back in 2013.

Is it possible that Mr Thompson could have envisioned all of the steps πŸšΆβ€β™‚οΈ that would follow ? Less than three years later, Carroll County High School would claim a victory that had been 36 years in the making.

That victory would translate into the modern edition of our Cavalier Park that we know today ! A number of people have been involved along the way and the hope is to include everyone who was part of the process.

Thursday morning πŸŒ„ we begin the process of giving credit where credit is due. But in the beginning, it was Mr Thompson and his Master Plan, then it was just cause and effect from there !
