Wow! And to think it's only the first week in July. Look at all the fun you're having!

What a trip, Noah! You take us along on your adventures, random, serendipidous, silly, and touching. You show us what you love about baseball, about movies, and what you love about people. Your encounters freshen up my own desire to just go out there.

This is the greatest comment! The tour has changed me a bit. It has forced me out of my comfort zone. It has required me to become a people person. Glad to hear it's rubbing off on a reader!

Definitely feeling the old stadium vibes! It was fantastic to check out the Oakland Coliseum before the A's sadly leave. The place is amazing when the A's are playing good baseball! Fun rooting for the kid Zach Gelof too. He was totally overmatched in his first two AB just to absolutely crush a homer to straight away center. Rough outing last night, however. 0-4 w/ 6 LOB...ouch! In brighter news his avg has climbed to .208. Awesome times my friend!

You were in Seattle and I missed you??? Noooo!!!

That’s what I get for neglecting my Substack reading 😭😭😭😭

Glad you saw a Rainiers game though.

Ah, I'm sorry to hear that. I liked Seattle a lot. I have a sister in Portland, so I'll probably be back at some point!
