2026 Baseball Odyssey Plans

Der Kommissar | March 15, 2026

Here we go y’all. This is going out quite a bit later than I had hoped but as Yogi probably said: “It it is what it is, that’s what it is.” Anyway, we’ve got two exciting options for this year that I’m trying to gauge interest for. And they are:

1)  Wisconsin Minors - June 6 - June 10

   ◦  2026-06-06 – Wausau Woodchucks (Home) @ Athletic Park – Wausau, WI vs Eau Claire Express 6:05

   ◦  2026-06-07 – Wisconsin Timber Rattlers (Home) @ Neuroscience Group Field – Appleton, WI vs Great Lakes Loons 6:40

   ◦  2026-06-08 – Fond du Lac Dock Spiders @ Herr-Baker Field – Fond du Lac, WI vs Growlers 6:35

   ◦  2026-06-09 – Madison Night Mares (Home) @ Warner Park – Madison, WI vs Ignite 6:05

   ◦  2026-06-10 – Beloit Sky Carp (Home) @ ABC Supply Stadium – Beloit, WI vs River Bandits 6:05

Sales Pitch - While this schedule remains comfortably planted in the Midwest—continuing a proud recent BO tradition—it does introduce a couple of notable firsts. For starters, two games will take place in the Midwest League at MLB’s High-A level, a circuit previously unvisited by the BO. Given the ongoing cost-cutting gyrations of Major League Baseball, it seems only prudent that the BO experience this league while it still exists in its current form. This itinerary also features a single-game introduction to the newly formed Northwoods Softball League, now in its second season. The league is still small, but catching a game should be a great way to see the operation firsthand and lend our modest but enthusiastic support to this upstart effort to grow women’s sports.

2)  New York Late-Summer Classic

   ◦  2026-09-02 – Brooklyn Cyclones (Home) @ Maimonides Park – Brooklyn, NY vs Winston Salem Dash 12:00

   ◦  2026-09-03 – Sussex County Miners (Home) @ Skylands Stadium – Augusta, NJ vs Brockton Rox 7:05

   ◦  2026-09-04 – New York Boulders (Home) @ Clover Stadium - Pomona, NY vs Quebec Capitales 7:00

   ◦  2026-09-05 – New Jersey Jackals (Home) @ Hinchliffe Stadium - Paterson, NJ vs Ottawa Titans 6:35

   ◦  2026-09-06 – New York Mets (Home) @ Citi Field - Flushing, NY vs San Francisco Giants 1:40

   ◦  2026-09-07 – Staten Island FerryHawks (Home) @ SIUH Community Park - Staten Island, NY vs Long Island Ducks 6:30

   ◦  2026-09-08 – Somerset Patriots (Home) @ TD Bank Ballpark - Bridgewater, NJ vs Hartford Yard Goats 6:35

   ◦  2026-09-09 – New York Yankees (Home) @ Yankee Stadium - Bronx, NY vs Colorado Rockies 7:05

Sales Pitch - This is what is known in the Back-to-Back Baseball Game Biz as a major cluster. This particular alignment sweeps up nearly every team in the region and gives us the rare luxury of mixing and matching games depending on pitching matchups, weather, whim, or hot dog quality. Even better, brother Chris has generously offered his home (space is limited) in White Plains as BO Headquarters for the duration of the escapade. From White Plains, no ballpark is more than two hours away.

Again, I'm gauging interest so share your thoughts, ideas and aspirations. As always, thanks you for your attention and continued support of The Baseball Odyssey.
