Irvine, CA (PRWEB) July 22, 2004 -- Life long baseball enthusiast Joseph
Pfeiffer, in an attempt to raise awareness and financial support for Big
Brothers Big Sisters of America, (http://www.bbbsa.org) is about to fulfill a childhood dream by
setting out on a near impossible task – from July 22nd to Aug 20th Joseph will
attempt to see a complete game at all thirty Major League Baseball™ stadiums in
just thirty days.
Although preliminary planning for this adventure begun
over 1 year ago, the going got tough with the release of the 2004 baseball
schedule. It took weeks to determine a course that would allow all 30 stadiums
to be visited in 30 days. In the event of game cancellations, rain outs, flight
or road delays, the entire trip could be thrown off course.
The rules as
set forth by Guinness World Records™ are simple: First, the itinerary had to be
approved in advance of the record attempt. Second, the time will be measured
from the first pitch of the first game to the last pitch of the last game and
must be measured down to the second. Third, a log book must be signed by a
stadium official at each game verifying Joseph's attendance at both the start
and finish of each game. Finally, all ticket stubs along with photographic
evidence must be submitted, and then verified, at the conclusion of the record
attempt.
In addition to the above requirements Joseph has set up a
website that will be updated throughout the journey. Visitors can follow along
by logging into http://www.thirtyinthirty.com as he attempts to set this new
world record.
