Well, it'll depend on if I can find the proper item for the bug or not.. And if I can afford tags or not. lol.

I'm having enough trouble affording the tags for my own TB bug race!

Come join the fun.

No fees and we host an event for local cachers to meet and stuff their face and kick off the race. Most bugs go from the race down the road 18 miles and get the first stadium, The "Ted" Braves Stadium that day.

Well Chaz,

Many folks mail the TB to use and drop the NEW TB into the event cache site, We (Corey, Duane or myself) will bring the TB to the event and it will join in the "raffle" for attendees to take home.

I've found the item I was looking for... (The Clean Shower/MacAttack #8 Monte Carlo race car from the year he set 70 HR).... and it's sitting here with me now. When I order TB tags, I'm going to get one for the race and enter my car.

Doubtful that I'll be able to get to the event cache that day (Although atlanta is only four hours away), so let me know where to send my bug.

this isn't a big deal, but i noticed that the rules mentioned a hypothetical situation with visiting "giants stadium in new jersey". This struck me as odd because that's a football stadium, but that doesn't invalidate the point you were trying to make.

hehe ...yes, you are correct. with several travel bug races going on that we need to keep up with, occasionally we will inter mingle ... thanks for the point.

I have bugs both in MLB Travel Bug Race (See Spot) and in NFL Travel Bug Race (Georgie, The Bull Dog). It is very exciting to watch your TB go from cache to cache, visiting the various stadiums. You find yourself getting cought up in the moment. If you enter consider yourself being a part of something truly great!

We're in! Now need to come up with a bug. Hmmm...

Hopefully this racer will do better that out other MLB & NFL racers. These entries have been held hostage for over two months. One, I fear, is lost since the holder has less than 10 finds and has not logged for months. Such is life of a TB.

Glad you have joined our race!

I would like to mention one thing. Unfortunately as we send TB out to the world we are at the whim on the finder. We at TBR keep a watch over all the bugs as best we can.

In the race rules we have "In order to be fair to all the other contestants, once the race begins, please do not aid, assist or handle any of the other 2005 baseball racers. It is encouraged that all participants attach some form of race information on their travel bug. The use of notes, maps, zips lock baggies, etc. to aid their bug’s travels is highly recommended. Remember, not all geocachers are familiar with travel bugs and/or travel bug racing."

This does not preclude you from posting to a cache page asking the next finder to move the bug. We have posted notes to cache pages and e-mailed cachers that have our racing TB's in hand. Each time politely nudging the TB along.

Personally once a TB of mine has sat 6 weeks I post a note and e-mail the holder. You just shouldn't ask the next cacher or present holder to place in a specific cache near them that would be an assist in our view. Just as asking them to mail or ship it to a new location or geo-buddy would. Of course mailing TB's to us to place in the starting Event so all TB's start from the same location is the exception to mailing.

Best of Luck to all,

GA Cacher, Team PEZ and Team Happyspider

This soounds great looking forward to joining. Last years race looked like a blast.

In the game coach is ready to go. He is a medal that came from the 2001 ISA worlds. My team came in 3rd. I hope to win this one.

January 17, 2005

Well, we have found the appropriate device/critter for our racer-bug! We will bring "Pinch-Hitter" to the Feb. GGA meeting! We are planning to attend the April kick-off too, but I believe you said you needed to have the racers before then?

Thanks for the fun!

Great please drop Picnh Hitter in the race Kick Off event as I will be putting together the Racers page at TBR this week. Then Bring it to the Feb meeting or just bring it to the Event Kick Off as you wish.

Thanks for entering.

Good Luck

I followed last year's race from the sidelines. But I am getting a TB ready to race this year! This race was fun to watch, now I get a chance to particpate! I hope more folks join up because this looks like a fun race.

January 22, 2005

We missed last years MLTBR (We weren't even caching then) - but this year we're racing one. Ya'll might as well just leave your TB's at home because we're gonna win.

January 24, 2005

So I just drop my bug in the event cache and mail it to you?

Sounds groovy! Is the date of the event the deadline for getting the bugs to you, or is it sooner?

Where do I send it?

Thanks!

Everyone should join! We are in the NFL TB race right now and have really enjoyed tracking the little guy and sending e-mails to strangers around the country urging them to help move our TB along.

These races are great, especially if you have kids you geocache with as they love to track the TBs.

February 14, 2005

OK, "Pinch-Hitter" (yes, we like puns!) has officially been entered in the 2005 MLB race! Meanwhile, we are looking forward to escorting some entrants in the 2004 MLB and NFL races to Phoenix next week!

February 26, 2005

Mine will be in the mail this AM!

I uploaded a picture for my bug as well. I can't wait for this race to get started.

I'm having exceptional luck in my race, so I'm a bit worried that I won't have the best of luck in this one. lol. Still, MacAttack has been picked up and logged already and the person who got it said its en route to Atlanta already.

Good Luck to the other racers, but may ye finishe behind me.

September 18, 2005

Does anyone know what happened to this race? The webpage hasn't been updated since July 17. I've sent inquiries to the three cachers that were running the race but I received no reply. Any info would be appreciated.

September 29, 2005

TTT

Not sure what happened as I haven't been paying attention after my TB got lost for a few months, it looks like I'm back in though.

Anyone? Anyone?

Dave

Anyone?......Anyone?.....Anyone?...... Buehler?

January 8, 2006

What ever happened with the race? The website has not been updated in some time.

Dave

January 11, 2006

Well... if anyone from the race comes across this, drop me a line. My bug didn't move for 4 months and now it looks like it hasn't moved in 2 months... so... I'm probably way behind the leaders at this point.

A good friend of mine would have loved this one! She and her husband have attended a game at every major league park. They hit their last one this past September.
