Guest Feature: Greg and Sandy E.

At Big League Tours, we love getting to celebrate our guests visiting their 30th stadium. It's even more special when the guests we're celebrating have become friends along the way! Greg and Sandy E. celebrated their 30th stadium this year. Here's what they had to say about their experience over the years: 

"We grew up with baseball. Greg was a Tigers fan and attended games at Tiger Stadium with his dad, and Sandy attended “Ladies’ Day” games with her grandmother at the iconic Wrigley field.When we retired, we thought it would be fun to go to games at different stadiums around the country. Being a librarian, I thought there must be tours that were offered for this type of thing. So, onto the Internet I went, I found Big League Tours and what a great find it was!

In 2018, we started our baseball odyssey with the East Coast Tour starting in Boston! Our tour leader was Glenn Dunlap (owner), and we had a very fun and interesting trip! One of the more ‘interesting’ moments happened in NYC. Our bus driver from Boston thought he was dropping us at Citi Field and then immediately heading home. The problem was everyone’s luggage was on the bus, and we had to get to our hotel after the game! Our intrepid leader, Glenn, was able to work it out with the driver. After the game we made it safely to our New York hotel complete with luggage! Citi Field was one of our favorite stadiums!

We were impressed with Glenn and Bronte and how organized the trips were! The hotels are very nice, the seats are awesome, and the people who are in the tour groups are all there for baseball! We had such a good trip that we signed up for the Mideast tour in 2019. The leader of that tour was someone no longer with the company. Again, we had a great trip, so we decided we wanted to go to all 30 stadiums with Big League Tours!

Of course, in 2020, there were no games with fans, so onto 2021 where we did the West Coast tour, going all the way from San Diego to Seattle! Once again, we had Glenn leading our tour and he was great! Petco Park in San Diego is another one of our favorite stadiums!

In 2022, we did the Midwest tour starting in Chicago and ending in a hot and humid St. Louis! Our tour leader was Martha Ellen and she was great! Sandy left her tablet on the bus when we got to Milwaukee. Martha Ellen tracked it down, and it was waiting for Sandy the next day when we arrived in Minneapolis! We also had trouble getting an Uber to the airport from the St. Louis game, and she helped us with that as well!

In 2023, we did the Mid-Atlantic tour, since we missed the Nationals, when we did the East Coast tour. Our tour leader was Tia, who lives in Alaska! We also did the Southeast tour in 2023, and we had Nathan as our leader.

What we thought would be our final trip with Big League Tours was the Southwest Tour,
starting in Denver, again with Nathan as our leader. In May 2024, we attended our 30th stadium with Big League Tours in Houston with the Astros hosting the Brewers!
It turns out the Southwest Tour is not our last trip with Big League Tours because, next May, Glenn is leading a baseball trip to Japan, and we are going on that trip with our adult son!

What we like most about Big League Tours is that we personally know Glenn, and Bronte. They aren’t just names of people we deal with and don’t know. They know who we are, we know who they are, and often we reconnect with leaders and people from previous trips because of this company’s reputation! We highly recommend using Big League Tours for your MLB baseball trips!"

We are absolutely thrilled for you, Greg and Sandy! Congratulations and thank you for choosing Big League Tours over all of these seasons. Off to Japan we go!
