Ron and Patti Clements traveled the country in an RV to attend at least one game at all 30 MLB stadiums in 2018. The journey began with Spring Training in Florida with Opening Day at Marlins Park. The trip continued all season, ending in St. Louis in September.
They partnered with Children's Hope Alliance, a children’s advocacy group based in North Carolina, and held baseball-related events in MLB cities to raise awareness of the needs of children in the foster care system and their families.
The Home Run On Wheels podcast not only chronicles that journey, but there are interviews with MLB players, media members and other sports figures as we talk all things baseball and life in an RV.
The foster care mission continued in 2019 with kids getting out to MLB games in Pittsburgh and Washington, D.C.
