triple-green
is a personal blog chronicling visiting every MLB stadium
The name "triple green" refers to a scoring system for each stadium
Each "green" is scored independently as an strikeout
(bad), a walk
(ok), a hit
(good), a home run
(great), or a grand slam
(the best). An aggregate score is determined by the max runs that would result from the 3 greens; for example, a hit
, walk
, and home run
would yield 3. The lowest score is 0 (3 strikeout
s) and the highest score is 12 (3 grand slam
s)
Factors: Car-free options, recycling options, carbon footprint
High-marks: first-class plant-based options. low-marks: concessions only (cotton candy, peanuts, soft drinks)
Expenses to get there, get tickets, eat, drink, and get home
Green | Notes | Rating |
---|---|---|
1: Environmental | In major metro area, lots of public transportation. Walking, however, is not well-supported | hit |
2: Plant-based | Plant-based hotdog with crispy tater tots | home run |
3: Economy | Tickets are pricy, lodging very pricy. Travel is inexpensive (cheap airfare, public transportation) | walk |
