Would anyone have any interest in a series of "weekend" rides to attend a game in each of the 9 minor league baseball stadiums in Texas?  Heck, we could even make up some shirts to commemorate the feat.

This is not a RAT ride.  RD and crew will forever be in the Texas X Riders Hall of Fame for that!!  This is just a series of weekend rides with a couple probably longer due to distance.

Here are the Teams, Affiliate, Location, Web site:

Coastal Bend Aviators - Independent - Robstown, TX - www.aviatorsbaseball.com
Corpus Christi Hooks - Houston Astros - Chorpus Christi, TX - www.cchooks.com
El Paso Diablos - Independent - El Paso, TX (My birthplace) - www.diablos.com
Ft Worth Cats - Independent - Ft. Worth, TX - www.fwcats.com
Frisco Rough Riders - Texas Rangers - Frisco, TX - www.ridersbaseball.com
Midland Rock Hounds - Oakland A's - Midland, TX - www.midlandrockhounds.org
Round Rock Express - Houston Astros - Round Rock, TX - www.roundrockexpress.com
San Angelo Colts - Independent - San Angelo, TX - www.sanangelocolts.com
San Antonio Missions - Seattle Mariners - San Antonio, TX - www.samissions.com

Frankly, I don't even know were some of these towns are, but several are a loooonnng way from Houston.  Some of the places are close enough to another that if it worked out right, we may could hit two stadiums on one trip.

Those members that live close to these fields could also, if inclined, provide some advice on CHEAP rooms and GREAT food.

Thoughts, comments, flames?

Pete. In regards to the SA Missions. My wife stays up all week for the KLRN (PBS) Auction. http://www.blazinggavels.com/cgi-bin/auction.cgi  The Missions auction tickets, usually 6, everynight. You can monitor, and purchase from Auction on-line. Usually they go for alot less here, than buying them outright. If you need any help in finding a place for the night, let me know.

I was at the Round Rock game last night, but was traveling in the wife's Audi. Does that count?

I am all for it.
I do have a sister, cousin, and good friend getting married so those events might take precedence on some weekends this summer.
But count me in for at least 4 or 5 weekends.

I am trying to work out a schedule as time permits and will try to keep this updated.

Struggling with working around BBT3 and the "Ride That The Name Can't Be Mentioned" and the Colorado ride.

Looking forward to trying to accomplish this.

Pete...Are you riding to Colorado with Tom, Kenny, and I? We're leaving early Thu morn.
