177. Kenton Elmore: Substack Stories, Game-Used Balls, & the Spirit of Solo Travel

May 08, 2025 • Anna DiTommaso • Episode 177

Kenton Elmore is a Cardinals fan from Champaign, IL. Despite being a self-described casual fan, last year Kenton accomplished something most diehards only dream of—visiting all 30 Major League ballparks in one season.

Kenton shares how a single idea sparked a months-long adventure across the country, complete with 30 ballpark visits, remote work, and a few surprise lessons along the way. We talk about how he mapped out the trip, what he learned about himself during the journey, and which parks made the biggest impression.
