Awesome Ballpark Pizza At Manco & Manco in Citizens Bank Park- Philly!

Manco & MancoIn recent years, food at ballparks has gotten much better. There’s even a book written about the food at baseball parks called The Joy of Ballpark Food!

My favorite team, the New York Mets used to have a solid and reasonably priced pizza option called Papa Rosso’s. The stand switched from selling pies to slices and then (from what I heard) it went downhill. It no longer has a stand at Citi Field…

I was also excited to try Manco & Manco, a well known Jersey Shore pizza shop! Continue reading Awesome Ballpark Pizza At Manco & Manco in Citizens Bank Park- Philly!

Four Seattle Mariners minor league players didn’t want to wake up early for their team’s road trip to New Mexico. Rather than get up at 3:00am, they planned to catch a flight with American Airlines.

When the flight didn’t work out, they decided to take an extremely pricey Uber ride to meet up with their team.  Continue reading Baseball Players Take $683 Uber Ride To Game

I haven’t had much luck spotting celebrities during a flight. Then again, I can’t say that I am ever on the lookout for them.

Last year, Kim noticed a famous actress on one of our flight. She whispered to me that Sandra Oh from Grey’s Anatomy was sitting right in front of me. We didn’t say anything but we did notice a flight attendant approach her and make some small chat. Continue reading Fan Spots MLB Star Mike Napoli On Flight & This Happened!

It’s been tough being a New York Mets fan over the years but 2015 has been a really great season. With the World Series starting on Tuesday night, it will be the Mets first time back in 15 years.

I’ve been watching more baseball than usual due to the playoffs. Since the WS doesn’t start until next week, Lucas can have the TV back until the series begins!

If you’ve been following the playoffs, you may have thought that Daniel Murphy’s record six straight playoff games with a home runs streak led them to their upcoming World Series appearance. But you’d be wrong…. Continue reading Delta Carrying Mets to World Series? I thought Daniel Murphy Did!
