Mike Safo with Marc Víquez, aka "The Ballpark Hunter"

Joined today by Marc Víquez, aka "The Ballpark Hunter". Marc and I chat about growing up in New Jersey, his favorite jersey shore spots and why he left Rutgers for Indiana state. We chat bout team loyalty and if he’s strayed away from his childhood teams. Marc tells us how he was asked to cover different minor league ballparks in the tri state area and how that turned into a 20-year journey visiting over 270 ballparks, arenas and stadiums. We hear what marc looks for in a stadium, what are his wow factors are and the best places to drink local beers. The ballpark hunter tells us about scheduling his family vacations around sporting events, what game he wished he could have witnessed live and what he does at every single ball park. We hear about his writing for stadiumjounrey.com, his podcast and his famous stadium review YouTube channel. From watching an unknown SS named Alex Rodriguez to watching a minor league game with the “Do Nothing” promotion, the @BallparkHunter shows a unique side of fandom Follow Marc on the following sites: Twitter: https://twitter.com/BallparkHunter IG: https://www.instagram.com/ballparkhunter/ Stadiumjourney.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdNtaxzoCwiE1oB6vfEAitw ** The “Mike Safo” Podcast is brought you by: https://www.levinskystopshelf.com/silk-city-hot-sauce **
