Founder and developer of Ballpark Passport, an independent iPhone app built for baseball travelers who want a better record of the parks, games and miles behind the chase.

Why this site exists

Ballpark Passport began with a simple idea: a ballpark visit should become more than a checked box. The app and this site bring the game, the trip and the personal record together.

The editorial pages are written for practical use. Time-sensitive details are dated, primary sources are linked where available, and readers are reminded to verify live schedules, transport and venue policies before game day.
