My itinerary for the summer.

My love for baseball comes from the enjoyment I got from playing the game and the appreciation I have for what the game taught me. Baseball has never been just a game. For more than 15 years, baseball, along with school, was the main activity that I organized the rest of my life around. With the help of my coaches and teammates, I learned time management, discipline, leadership, organization and the value of hard work from playing the game.

My feelings about baseball are not unique ; many of my former teammates have similar feelings. This project will be an homage to the game that has given me and many others so much.

Chicago White Sox

I have come to believe that there is a certain universality as to why people love the game. It is my hope that by photographing a game at every MLB stadium, I can capture and document a visual representation of that universality.

While there are experiential commonalities to the game of baseball, there are many differences at every stadium, too. Baseball is the only sport that allows for each playing field to have its own unique dimensions. As such, each stadium has its own personality and deserves exploration. Furthermore, fans and traditions at each stadium are different too. As I explore every stadium, I hope to document how each stadium’s physical differences contribute to the uniqueness of a team’s fans and traditions.

You’ll get to go on the road with me.

By subscribing, you’ll be the first to see my latest images from each stadium visit. You’ll also get Beacon-exclusive pictures not featured anywhere else. I’ll share conversations I have with people I meet on my journey and finally, you’ll get periodic essays and reflections from me about what I’m learning from the trip.

Your support goes toward funding a scholarship solely for baseball players

I’m incredibly fortunate to be able to make this trip happen so I want to make sure I give something back. All profit from this trip will be donated to the scholarship program administered by MLB’s Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities program. My goal is to contribute a full scholarship for next year’s program with a $5000 donation. But with your support, we could do even more.
