A cool way to keep track (http://www.sportsonearth.com/article/70599292/hardball-passport-best-way-to-keep-baseball-memories-alive) of the games/stadiums you have attended. The site has games for Major and minor leagues.
Check back to the site in a few weeks and you can add in the Cornell and other college baseball games you attended.
It might be easier than saving the score cards that you filled out, save and bring with you every time you move. (While packing this weekend, I found a score card from a 1997/1998? San Diego Padres @ Pittsburgh Pirates game from the old 3 rivers stadium).
A lot of the ballparks I've been to are no longer standing: Vet Stadium, Shea, Cleveland Municipal, Baltimore Memorial Stadium, the Kingdome, and even Parc Jarry are all old ballparks I've gone to games at.
And I still have the program from the first game I went to. Yankee Stadium - 1973. It was Graig Nettles' first game with the Yankees.

A website (or the spreadsheet I have now) can't replace the actual ticket stubs and scorecards, even if they may be a pain to move someday. At this point I generally only score when it's a ballpark I've never been to before so that cuts the numbers down some (only around 120 or so...)
Still seems cool so I may have to check it out (and see how many challenges I've already completed!) Thanks for the tip.

I agree. The ticket stubs/scorecards are something to hang onto and a visual reminder of a nice day at the park. But it might be nice to have it all "backed up" (and I think you can upload photos), especially before the big earthquake hits and swallows everything up (the earth has been doing a lot of shaking recently).
I hope anyone who went to the Atlanta Braves home opener got there early. Pre-game festivities (http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2023291-atlanta-braves-pregame-fireworks-accidentally-sets-american-flag-on-fire?utm_source=cnn.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=editorial&hpt=hp_t2) were kind of exciting. I guess that is a new visual for "rockets red glare".

Couldn't happen to a nicer team.
1 I hope John Rocker was there to experience the horror.
