Ep. 6 - No Place Like Home: Baseball Stadiums: Old, New, and Favorites (with Kevin Chemidlin)
Smells of hot dogs and popcorn, the sound of a hard hit, and cheering fans all fill your senses. The energy of a good baseball game will excite you no matter what ballpark you’re at, but in truth, there’s no place like home for a fun experience.
Kevin Chemidlin, podcast host and lifelong baseball fan, joins our host to talk about the magical experience that is a baseball game. As someone who’s on a mission to see one game in every city in the country, Kevin has (so far) been to 27 cities in ballparks both old and new.
What are the differences in these parks, and do they matter? What ballpark foods and traditions are essential to the baseball experience? Can minor league teams compete for the fan experience?
Tune in for a fun conversation on ballpark traditions, best game experiences, ballpark quirks, what Kevin would change about the game, and MORE!
