  1. Like some others, easier to count states i have spent more than lay over time in: then the ones I haven't:  Texas, Michigan, Illinois, Florida, New York, California, Oregon, New Mexico, Washington, Nevada, Arizona, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Massachusetts, Colorado, Idaho, North Carolina, Missouri (well, Kansas City, both sides, so however you want to count that one).

    Also not counting the states I lived in as a kid while Dad was in the Marines because i was too little to remember them.

    I'm a big fan of the Pacific Northwest.  If I could pull it off would happily uproot and settle in Bend, OR for the rest of my days. Not that this was in the original question, just dreaming.

    I also agree with the sentiment that perhaps NYC shouldn't count as seeing New York State.  I would say upper New York State is on my bucket list of states.  Also on that bucket list would be Montana, New Hampshire, Vermont, South Carolina, and Georgia, and Maine.

  2. Going to be in Cleveland next week for a conference.  I am apparently staying right next to Progressive Field, so am hoping to get a chance to sneak in a game at some point.  

    If anyone has been there or has thoughts, let me know your tips.  And if you really know Cleveland and happen to like good craft beer hit me up with some of your favorite brew pubs and I'll try to check those out as well.

    BACKSTORY FOR EVERYONE ELSE WHO WASNT WATCHING:

    Last night, Padres CF was hit chest high in the ribs, leading to a 10 day DL stint announced today. Appeared unintentional.

    This afternoon, Perdomo plunked Trevor story. Looked unintentional but may not have been.

    Shortly thereafter, Rockies pitcher hit Hunter Renfroe high and on the wrist. Looked unintentional, but was a dangerous location nonetheless.

    Perdomo then threw belt high and behind Arenado, leading to this.

    EDIT: Digging even deeper, Padres 3B Villanueva hit 3HRs in one game during the earlier series and was plunked afterwards. So this might have been brewing in some degree for over a week.

    EDIT 2: For further context, since the season began, 5 Padre hitters have been hit by Rockies pitchers, including one that sent starting CF Margot to the hospital with a rib injury. 1 COL hitter was hit (Trevor Story today) and then Perdomo threw behind Arenado
