Welcome to the Baseball Fan Grand Slam blog!

In baseball, a grand slam is the most a player can score in a single hit. So, what is a Baseball Fan Grand Slam? It’s a difficult feat of the same magnitude: taking in a game at every Major League Baseball park in one season! That’s what we’re doing in 2023.

We’re also taking this opportunity to raise some visibility – and funding – for a widespread problem. More than 60% of the US population lives paycheck to paycheck. Employees, particularly those with young children, experience homelessness and instability at startling rates. We hope you’ll follow our progress around the United States and support our goal of raising $100,000 for the Employee Stability Program at Wellspring Family Services through Home Runs for Housing.
