We have a stretch goal to visit all major league baseball ballparks, as we travel around the country, when we happen to be near one.

While staying an hour out of Atlanta, we had such an opportunity. We attended an evening game of the Cleveland Guardians playing at the Atlanta Braves’ stadium, Truist Park.
