0:27
also be my 20th 20
0:31
Stadium trying to accomplish all 30 I'm
0:33
hoping I can get that goal done by the
0:36
end of the year this has been a work of
0:39
progress the last couple years I'm only
0:40
counting stadiums where my Rays play get
0:44
a little choked up
0:46
because they are in last place in the AL
0:50
East at the moment they've only played
0:51
29 games welcome everyone Adam the woo
0:55
here American League East very tough
0:56
division great teams in there I actually
0:59
see the sky line over there it's way off
1:01
in the
1:02
distance tour today later this eve the
1:06
game again 20th Stadium while seeing my
1:10
Rays 162 games of the Season they've
1:13
only played 29 they can turn it
1:16
around either way it's baseball it's
1:19
always a good day where you can watch
1:21
your team play in a new stadium join me
1:24
it's good to have you here shall you
1:27
there's that Skyline I was referring
1:28
looking back the other way way they
1:30
called it the miracle in Milwaukee used
1:33
to be the Milwaukee Braves 53 up to
1:36
65 this is the wall of
1:46
Honor hor spawn and Bob uker right up
1:46
there very nice oh yeah I think of
1:50
mustache is in baseball you got to think
1:52
of this guy right here what do you know
1:55
the little baseballs oh here's bu
1:58
seig I was wondering who they have the
2:00
sculpture of president of the Milwaukee
2:03
Brewers ninth commissioner Major League
2:05
Baseball he's holding the baseball right
2:07
there got to think this guy or the Rays
2:09
probably wouldn't be in the postseason
2:11
too often because he
2:13
implemented the structural changes
2:15
including the wild card in fact the Rays
2:18
also speaking of Tropic field wearing an
2:20
appropriate t-shirt the Rays have hung
2:22
up a wild card Banner for their
2:24
postseason birth the last two opening
2:27
days they didn't advance past the wild
2:29
card they end in the postseason for the
2:31
past five I think it's five maybe I
2:34
think it's five seasons this year
2:37
again come on rays of course like a lot
2:40
of teams and stadiums they have a
2:41
different name for their Stadium Miller
2:44
Park here are some of the workers that
2:46
are honored this little sculpture them
2:49
creating this ballpark birds are
3:01
chirping Bob was born born and
3:01
raised here in this city I didn't
3:03
realize that I didn't realize he was
3:05
born and raised here Robin was a 17th
3:08

4:09
Series with Pittsburgh Pirates against

4:14
need to quickly drive game before game
4:16
seven heav so this is how they did do is
4:20
kind
4:21
of make them a little bit uncomfortable
4:24
so in the visitor's Clubhouse or locker
4:27
room there aren't any showers
4:29
we make them come up here 2 by two with
4:31
one towel and we run cold
4:34
water should tell communicating with the
4:37
people up there and people in here so I
4:40
mean sometimes we can say three to five
4:41
people we've got a full house in there
4:44
they want to make sure for safety
4:45
reasons but I'm also see come in here

6:07
nice comfortable chair for him I think

6:37
major league baseball for six years fly
6:39
balls with the Tubba all right you guys
6:41
got that here's here's yuk fly balls in
6:46
the Press Box usually you can see some
6:49
indentations at other stadiums the Press
6:52
when they have these open the balls will
6:55
down into the take a look we got a great
6:56
view of the field from here thinking
6:58
right now
7:00
uh they're probably they might have reup
7:02
the uh the logos there the UW Credit
7:05
Union thing so they might have painted
7:07
them so they're probably drying them off
7:09
got a great deal the field okay Bernie's
7:11
Chalet so for those of you guys that
7:15
are ber Brewer right lights up and
7:20
Bernie comes down the slide one of our
7:22
guys hit a home run uh hey just looking
7:25
around some tidbits about the field
7:27
itself uh look straight ahead right it's
7:30
not like anybody if you watch the
7:31
basketball games when somebody's
7:32
shooting a free throw or shaking tubes
7:34
and everything at them well every Major
7:36
League Stadium's got got that blacked
7:37
out so that the batter can see that ball
7:40
coming at him all right coming at you
7:43
well some of these guys are everybody
7:45
wears number 42 in honor of Jackie
7:48
Robinson all right so you guys ever get
7:51
a chance with all the streaming we've
7:53
got during game day MLB said we want all
7:56
the announcers of sports writers we want
7:58
them to hear the crack of the bat we
8:00
want them to hear the Roar of the crowd
8:02
we want them to smell the Bratz and beer
8:04
so these are all opened up in all the
8:05
booths all the
8:16
way also I think they have the best logo
8:16
in all of baseball so you have the M for
8:18
Milwaukee the B for Brewers and it's a
8:21
baseball M ah the interview room
8:33
the ball is centered in here now now
8:33
there's two seams on the ball and the
8:36
center field of white is the fan base
8:40
the state of Wisconsin and the City of
8:42
Milwaukee the way we're still going down
8:44
here uh we also have inside there that
8:49
was the uh Bullpen cart that was used in
8:51
major league right there
8:54
what that's the one okay
9:00
down so that was the end of the Brewers
9:02
uh locker room the only difference
9:05
between the two is we also have a medal
9:08
center with machine think we're going to
9:10
go the dug
9:17
out we got I don't know are there any in
9:17
the MLB at this point in time don't I
9:20
mean I know the NFL is grasping you know
9:23
you see Lady refs out on the field Etc
9:25
so anyhow come on down this way watch
9:28
out there might be some three we're go
9:31
out on the
9:36
field bases right there they're a little
9:39
bit bigger this
9:45
year oh
9:47
yeah oh going on oh that's cool I didn't
9:50
want to walk out
9:51
here what the heck
10:17
everybody PL right
10:17
there tour guide right there
10:27
umg all right so like I said out I'm
10:27
going to be sitting over there somewhere
10:29
underneath there we can decide if we're
10:32
going to put heat or air conditioning
10:34
it's going be cool people
10:36
cool
10:59
only so we're coming down here what is
10:59
this thing right
11:04
here
11:04
cover it's a tarp why do we have a tarp
11:08
if we can close the roof in 10 minutes
11:10
how many people do you think it would
11:12
take to roll the tarp out and how much
11:14
time do you think it would take to roll
11:15
a tarp out reason it's here because
11:19
Major League Baseball said whether you
11:20
have a retractable roof a permanent roof
11:23
no roof you have to have a tarp on the
11:25
field all right so okay and they roll it
11:28
out couple times a year just we had
11:31
right
11:32
down the field line all
11:41
right going into the field to play going
11:41
into the field look at this this where
11:43
they foul ball not foul
11:50
ball we're actually on the playing field
11:50
right now we're actually in play right
11:52
now yeah foul ball there Fair ball right
11:56
here we're in randyland right now
12:00
we're we're at a away
12:07
randyland where rosarina is going to
12:07
play right here what the heck we're
12:10
walking the warning Tru wow look at this
12:13
I trying to catch a home supposed home
12:16
run ball right there look at this no no
12:20
that's a chain
12:23
link wow look at
12:27
that now there not allowed to walk on
12:30
the grass at all check a look at this so
12:33
you can walk on the warning track but
12:35
not on the grass do not walk any closer
12:39
to that I'm in the field of play right
12:41
now what the heck I think we're going to
12:43
go in the bull we're going to go in the
12:44
freaking
12:45
Bullpen right in the path the pitcher
12:48
and The Catcher And the freaking
12:56
Bullpen my mind is kind of blown right
12:56
now honestly I've done Stadium tours
12:58
before
12:59
not with this much access to the actual
13:01
field in the
13:27
B I think it's all like that all is that
13:27
it is
14:06
all right tour is over I think I'm going
14:06
to go in the team store now see what I
14:08
can find and stepping into the team
14:11
store nice little assortment of of
14:14
products that they had through there
14:17
another reason I popped in here as well
14:18
got a little little ticket little coupon
14:21
by the guide and basically it was good
14:24
at the counter in the team store to get
14:26
a pin here that's that states I toured
14:29
American Family field home of the
14:32
Brewers so I got a little pen right here
14:35
that was a great
14:36
tour honestly didn't get to didn't get
14:38
to go in the in the dressing rooms or
14:41
anything like that because it's game day
14:43
but I think if it wasn't you might be
14:44
able to go in there but was able to look
14:46
at the at the Dugout go into one of the
14:49
bullpens and walk on the freaking
14:52
playing field couldn't walk on the grass
14:54
but I did walk on the warning track and
14:56
then down the third base line so pretty
14:58
awesome this is a nice little souvenir
14:59
too this stadium was built in 2001 the
15:02
old stadium used to be right over here
15:05
now it is a Little League
15:07
field but the top of the third base
15:11
Dugout is where home plate used to be in
15:14
this parking space is where Hank Aaron's
15:18
755th home run
15:22
hit right
15:26
here this marks the landing location of
15:29
the final home run of Hank Aaron's
15:31
career number 755 hit at County Stadium
15:35
July 20th
15:51
too Milwaukee Braves of course now the
15:51
Atlanta Braves there's home plate right
15:53
there okay I could see it through the
15:54
gate Milwaukee County Stadium
16:02
that is
16:02
epic right behind the third base
16:06
Dugout how cool is
16:21
that I think that's pretty dang cool 4
16:24
hours
16:25
later all right heading back to the
16:27
stadium went back to my hotel room and
16:29
relax that there was a really bad
16:31
Spongebob segue there yeah it's been
16:34

16:35
hours headed back the stadium now tour

16:42
raise up all right I made it in and the
16:44
first thing as soon as I walked in I
16:46
went directly up to the top top floors
16:49
to see the Bob uker seats and Bob uker
16:52
kind of a moralize here I guess he would
16:54
Bob uker would be like Milwaukee's
16:55
favorite baseball son and he has the the
16:59
seat at the very very top of the 400
17:02
section he has a little there's a little
17:04
sculpture dedicated to him and he's got
17:06
a pretty good view so I ended up going
17:08
up and saying hello to Bob uker first
17:09
and I saw him on the tour from the field
17:12
level and I didn't realize that you
17:15

it gets heated and small little tiny
25:44
things can change the outcome of the
25:45

I'd rather my team risk losing when it's
25:53
a close game like that down to the wire
25:56
than to have a blowout with the team
25:57
winning
