larryhockett

Joined Atlas Obscura in 2017

I'm a big baseball fan. When I travel, it's often to visit baseball stadiums (both in the major leagues and minor leagues). I've been to games at all 30 MLB stadiums. On each trip I like to round out my itinerary with something that I might never get to experience again. I work in healthcare, so I also have a special interest in places with a medical or scientific connection. My username is inspired by a quirky character from a great movie (a baseball movie, of course).
