Seven Major League Baseball games in seven days!!! I love baseball, but I found myself on Saturday (the 6th game) thinking, man I am a little tired of this.

But nevertheless the question of where have I been can be answered by: Turner Field watching the Braves take on the Cubs (1-game makeup), Yankees, and Red Sox.

Knowing that I was going to be going to 7 games in a week, I decided not to pay $113.70 in parking. So I figured I'd take MARTA. But being the clasterphobic type, I decided MARTA wasn't going to be a good option. So then I came up with the brilliant plan of parking my car at WSB and riding the 4.8 miles to the stadium on my bike!

It was a BLAST and probably will be the only way I go to the stadium from now on. Even in the 100° heat, and the hills of Peachtree Street it was still fun. Brought a change of shirt and some Gatorade and I was good to go.

Turner Field has a few bike racks which are right by the entrance (best parking space possible!) Plus I insist that getting to Turner Field takes no less time, and going home I only lost maybe 10-15 minutes.


Ride time was around 25 minutes, and at one point I could break the speed limit while biking - going 30.4 in a 25 ;)

Here's a map of our route. Pretty simple.




The other "adventurous" thing Justin and I tried with the Yankees/Red Sox series was to make some money. Back in February we bought about $3,000 worth of tickets all around the park in hopes to make a couple of thousand dollars.

Well after all was said and done - including StubHub's 15% commission - we made a grand total of $36.69 each. Ha! At least we didn't lose any money.

Lessons learned though: buy more tickets on the visitor side and anything beyond 1st or 3rd base is not worth it to resell with any sort of profit. Ohh, and don't do this during a recession :)

But it did mean that I got to sit in a different seat every single game - which was an awesome experience. I posted the photos at the bottom, so take a look at all my views.

Well that is it for now. I am heading up to Indiana for a week of vacation, but I will be blogging about my Nasvhille Weekender (2 weekends ago), Why Allen Is Wrong and Obama is Right on Iran, and The Death of Jackson, Fawcett, and Others all this week so check back often.
