A Cincinnati native, lifelong Reds fan, father of 3 boys and husband of one wife. My favorite ballpark has to be the living history museum that is Fenway Park. I've traveled to about half of the current MLB ballparks, plus a few others that are no longer with us like Shea, Turner Field, and Old Yankee Stadium. I started Ballpark Savvy to make your next ballpark trip more fun and affordable.
