A field guide to game dayBefore the first pitch · During the game · After the final out

Jake Sullivan

Baseball Culture and Fan Experience Writer

Jake Sullivan is a baseball fan-experience and culture writer covering Major League Baseball, minor leagues, youth tournaments, ballpark travel, cards, history, and the rituals surrounding game day.

Jake writes for TheBaseballBash.com, exploring baseball from the seats, the parking lot, the scorebook, the road trip and, every so often, the analytics dashboard. In his own words: he likes the numbers, but he also wants to know whether the stadium is worth arriving two hours early for, where everyone goes after the game, whether the kids can get close enough to watch batting practice, and why one beat-up glove somehow matters more than five new ones.
