We can't do 'em all in one summer. Too expensive and too much time needed. But we get a couple a year. We've also been to Fenway together, just not since we officially started this quest. We used to go every Patriots Day (in "a previous life", as you said
). That's the day the Boston Marathon is run. The Sox play at 11 am and the game is supposed to get out around the time the Marathon is finishing. But with longer game times and shorter marathon times, it doesn't work out that way much anymore.
I've also been to Wrigley; July 4, 1994. Game 1 of a doubleheader with the Rockies. Great day. Happened to be "Taste of Chicago", World Cup soccer, and fireworks all on the same day, so getting around town was
crazy!!! But still a great day.
Where else? I've been to the Metrodome, to Busch, to Riverfront. I think that's it. I've been to Kauffman Stadium, but just peeked in b/c we were there on an off-day.

I also used to have a great plastic cup collection from every school I visited. Then I got married, and they got boxed up and "lost". Sigh...all those memories gone...
