James Patry is a lifelong Red Sox fan from New Hampshire who is closing in on his goal of visiting all 30 Major League ballparks. James shares how his love of the game was born in the backyard where his older brother Oscar patiently pitched tennis balls to him night after night, and how baseball has remained a constant thread in his life ever since.

We hear stories of traveling with his late father to stadiums like the Metrodome and Jacobs Field, and how he plans to make Target Field the final stop on his ballpark journey as a tribute to those memories. James and Anna reflect on the unique energy of ballpark crowds, the characters in the cheap seats, and how baseball helps us explore the country and connect more deeply.

Bill Boyle is a lifelong Mets fan from Harvey’s Lake, Pennsylvania. He grew up surrounded by baseball—playing wiffle ball in the yard with his brothers, being coached by his father, and learning to love the game while watching Mets games with his grandmother.

He talks about the joy of helping young players grow through hard work and consistency, and how baseball continues to serve as a teaching tool far beyond the field.

We also dive into his journey to all 30 Major League ballparks and how his wife and young daughter have joined him along the way.

Tony Ebers is a lifelong Cardinals fan from just outside of St. Louis. He shares how his love for the game was passed down through generations, starting with radio broadcasts alongside his dad and grandfather, and how seeing Ozzie Smith turn a double play in person cemented his passion for baseball forever.

We chat about the evolution of Busch Stadium, the unique hospitality of Cardinals fans, and Tony’s favorite ballpark traditions—from the seventh-inning stretch to sharing “Who’s on First” with a kid in the stands. Tony also shares his love for defense-first players like Ozzie Smith and Mason Wynn, his thoughts on the state of the modern game, and what it still means to walk into a stadium and feel that childlike wonder.

Alex Haenke is a lifelong Detroit Tigers fan who recently wrapped up a 17-year journey visiting all 30 Major League ballparks with his family. What started as a fun idea between Alex and his dad turned into a tradition that shaped his love of baseball, travel, and culture.

Alex shares how his ballpark chase changed as he grew up, how even his non-baseball-loving younger brother eventually got into the spirit, and how those trips inspired a broader love for exploring museums, local landmarks, and everything cities have to offer.

We also dive into Alex’s latest goal—visiting every affiliated minor league park—and his YouTube channel, Traveling Sports Nerd, where he documents sports-fueled adventures across the country.

John Foster is a lifelong Cincinnati Reds fan from Long Island, New York. Despite growing up deep in Mets and Yankees territory, John’s fandom was born from the Big Red Machine and a legendary on-field brawl during the 1973 NLCS. Since then, he’s stayed loyal to the Reds—no matter how long the rebuild.

John shares how his job as a flight attendant has helped him chase ballparks across the country, allowing him to visit 29 out of 30 MLB stadiums (with Truist Park still on the list). We talk about how the game has changed over time, his recent shift in perspective after a health scare, and how he’s come to appreciate baseball—and ballpark chasers—even more deeply.
