Baseball Qualifications

Riley can’t remember a time where she wasn’t a baseball fan! She has her dad to thank for the love of the game. The two of them are trying to visit every Major League Baseball ballpark (there’s 30). She hopes you enjoy some photos of her doing baseball-related things throughout the years (photos feature family & friends with permission, of course).

While all teams will be treated equally in this research project, she’d be remiss if she didn’t say––Go Phillies!
