The stadiums we have been to over the years include Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox; Royals Stadium, and now Kauffman Stadium, home of the Kansas City Royals; the Ballpark at Arlington, home of the Texas Rangers; the Astrodome, former home of the Houston Astros; the Metrodome, home of the Minneapolis Twins; County Stadium, former home of the Milwaukee Brewers; Coors Field, home of the Colorado Rockies; Turner Field, home of the Atlanta Braves; Busch Stadium, home of the St. Louis Cardinals; Wrigley Field, home of the Chicago Cubs; Comiskey Park, home of the Chicago White Sox; River Front Stadium, former home of the Cincinnati Reds; Shea Stadium, home of the New York Mets; Comerica Park, home of the Detroit Tigers; and Yankee Stadium, home of the New York Yankees (even though we didn't get to attend a game there or tour the stadium in our Boston Red Sox shirts! )

My son got Roger Clemens' autograph on a baseball the year we saw the Red Sox play in Minneapolis (in 1993). My son had just turned 4 years old, and was dressed up in white baseball pants, a Red Sox jersey and cap, and had a baseball glove and a baseball, looking for autographs. Roger came walkjng across the field toward the dugout, which we were close to, and my son said "Wagew Cwemens, can you pwease sign my basebaw?", holding the ball out towards Roger as he did so. Roger looked up at Alex, and then looked down, then looked up at Alex again and came over and signed the ball for him. He handed it back to Alex, and said "Here you go, buddy". He signed one other autograph that night, for an elderly man standing nearby. That was it.

Alex got a lot more autographs from players over the years, but that was by far the most exciting one. They don't come over to him to sign for him as much any more, because he's not such a cute LITTLE kid anymore. It was a LOT of fun while it lasted, and we still absolutely love going to the different stadiums every year. It's been a lot of fun, and takes us to a lot of cities, where we tour historical areas, museums, etc. We've always considered these vacations to be sort of like long, fun, educational field trips with our son! He has traveled more and seen more places in his almost 16 years than most people travel and see in their entire lifetime!
