We Need Your Help!

Hey Diamondbacks fans. My friend and I are currently on the tail end of a 75 day roadtrip where we are attempting to go to all 30 Major League stadiums. We have been filming the whole experience for a series of documentary shorts we hope to release by the end of the season. We’re looking for help from the fans to get some ideas for our film project. We have been looking for stories that are not so much about the players or the actual game on the field, but human interest stories about the people who work around the game and the fans who are the heart of every franchise. Some examples of what we have done so far include stories on the kayaking community outside AT&T Park in San Francisco, the saxophone players outside Busch Stadium in St. Louis, and a famous hotdog vendor outside Fenway Park in Boston. We have unique stories for every stadium we have been to but continue to look for interesting takes in every city. If anyone has any ideas about what you, the fan, would want to hear about in a video about your team please let us know. You can check out our project at www.basecrawl.com and shoot us an e-mail if you have any ideas. Thanks for the help and we look forward to seeing your team.

Well,

you might want to contact D’backs’ FO because they started this program of giving free season tickets to families that couldn’t afford them. That might be something interesting to you. On the other hand, you could try and go around before the game in front of Chase Field and get some interviews with people and see what teams they supported growing up, since most of them will be from somewhere else.

You could check out Arizona State’s Packard Stadium, considered one of the better venues of college baseball.

I’m sure there are other interesting stories out there but I can’t think of much right now.

Knock off the hippie crap, strap on a helmet, and start shooting. This is baseball, Diamondbacks, I want you to storm that beach like it's Normandy!

There's the tamale story?

We had a fanshot about it, but that’s now vanished off the front page. Here is the original piece. Certainly comes into the category of human interest stories.
