Today we've got for y'all a 1,000 mile trek that begins in San Francisco on July 25th, ends in Phoenix on August 4, & stops for 8 games.
In total this route features 6 MLB, & 5 minor league teams including Modesto's new team the Roadsters, & the Dodgers' new A team the Ontario Tower Buzzers.

Let's begin at Oracle Park on Saturday 7/25 (at which the #Giants are giving away button ups), with Beerrunner's excellent view, & a Giants' 1:05 1st pitch to the Angels.
From here Los Angeles' visiting bench & McCovey Cove are on your right, while San Francisco's dugout & the bay are on your left. #Baseball #MLB

If you leave SF around noon, for the 3 1/2 hour drive south, you can enjoy the Grizzlies' Low Rider weekend before the game's 5pm start.
Picked whiteelephants thrilling view because it's fun being so close, you can almost feel the bat crack, & you can cheer on Fresno in the bottom of the innings. #Baseball

The next day, Monday, is a free day. It's the perfect opportunity to visit Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park, venture up Mt. Whitney, visit 5 of the 10 largest trees in the world, and enjoy a hike trail.
If you're thinking of staying here for the 3 nights, July 26-28, reservations are needed.
After relaxing amongst the trees the Rawhides' 1st pitch flies to the Inland Empire at 6:35. This game has $2 lawn tickets.
Picked Wb524's shady aisle seat because it's between the 66ers' visitors bench to the right, Visalia's dugout to the left, & has a great above homeplate view of all the plays. #Baseball

The trip's next 3 games are in the LA area. The first of these has a 7:10 start, on 7/29, & an Edwin Diaz bobblehead giveaway at Dodger Stadium.
For it PNMaestro's great view (snapped at the #Dodgers' 2025 World Series Celebration) will include LA playing from their dugout along the 3rd base line. #MLB #Baseball

Great seat on the first base side with a clear, panoramic view of the field. This pic is from the Dodgers World Series celebration event, not a game, but you can see where everything would be if it was a game.
As of this season the Dodgers have a new Single-A team the Ontario Tower Buzzers, they play at a new ballpark 47 minutes east of LA, ONT Field, & the trip's next stop is here.
The Buzzers' 1st pitch to Fresno flies at 6:35, plus they have a Beach Towel Giveaway, & are offering $10 lawn tickets.
*edit is fixing grammer 😜
After sight-seeing it'll be time to relax with sir_eddie's "completely in the shade for a 6:38 game" view, of Los Angeles' dugout on the left, at 6:35 on the 31st.
The Brewers are playing out of the visiting dugout along the 1st baseline, & the #Angels are giving away SpongeBob SquarePants jerseys.

We think ElNino69's club seats right behind the Giants' 2nd batter, taking swings in the on-deck circle, at 1:10 is perfect for relaxing after running around San Diego the day before.
I'd be remiss not mentioning that the #Padres have a terrific shade map in the Petco Park section of their site. #Baseball #MLB

Our final game will feature a #DBack's 6:40 start on Aug 4th in Phoenix. For it we picked BrandonWanKenobi's "Great view here halfway between the outfielder and first baseman." The dugout along the 3rd baseline is the visitors', the Padres.
Because it's a 5+hr drive we baked a travel day into the trip. #Baseball #MLB

Father's Day 2025. Great view here halfway between the outfielder and first baseman. Heads up that there's no stroller parking anywhere close to this side. It's over by the home plate area by guest services.
Thank you for following along this little adventure today.
We hopes it helps inspire your summer plans, and had provided you with a pleasant distraction.
