Ron and Patti Clements traveled the country in an RV to attend at least one game at all 30 MLB stadiums in 2018. The journey began with Spring Training in Florida with Opening Day at Marlins Park. The trip continued all season, ending in St. Louis in September.
They partnered with Children's Hope Alliance, a children’s advocacy group based in North Carolina, and held baseball-related events in MLB cities to raise awareness of the needs of children in the foster care system and their families.
The Home Run On Wheels podcast not only chronicles that journey, but there are interviews with MLB players, media members and other sports figures as we talk all things baseball and life in an RV.
The foster care mission continued in 2019 with kids getting out to MLB games in Pittsburgh and Washington, D.C.
In the 100th, and likely final, episode of the Home Run On Wheels podcast, we reflect on the last two years and the impact we've hopefully made on the lives of children in the foster care system.
It's been a bittersweet week with the first week of spring training corresponding with the death of Ron's grandfather.
Ron also discusses his first week working for the Milwaukee Brewers and why the San Francisco Giants might have the most bland venue in all of baseball.

Former MiLB player Chris Nelson
Chris Nelson, who spent five years in the Oakland A's system, joined the podcast to discuss his youth baseball camps in the Phoenix area - one of which is primarily for children in the foster care system.
Chris has partnered with the Milwaukee Brewers to use their spring training facility at Maryvale and also has relationships with the Royals and Rangers in Surprise, and of course, his former team in Mesa.
Chris and Ron discuss his playing career, the youth camps, the partnership with the Brewers and foster care organizations in Phoenix, as well as the Astros cheating scandal.

Snowbird Life in Arizona
We are adjusting to a snowbird life in the Phoenix area as spring training with the Cactus League has begun.
Maverick, the new Home Run On Wheels "Barketing Manager" is also adjusting to RV life well and went on his first road trip last weekend.
Pitchers and catchers have reported and we're ready for spring training. Ron will be working for the Brewers in Phoenix and we hope to catch at least one game at every Cactus League venue.
There are new faces in new places, and sports trades are kind of analogous to kids in the foster system getting moved from home to home.
