Hartland Man's Baseball Quest/Fundraiser UnderwayHartland Man's Baseball Quest/Fundraiser Underway

8/19/13 - It’s a solid hit so far for a Livingston County man trying to visit all 30 Major League Baseball parks in 30 days. Eric Mueller of Hartland is a Detroit Tigers season-ticket holder who says he wanted to do something special for his 50th birthday coming up in October. He came up with the idea to visit all 30 ballparks, but almost as quickly decided to make it a fundraising effort for an issue close to his heart. Mueller lost his father to leukemia 13 years ago, and another close friend is currently fighting the disease, so he’s soliciting donations during his trek for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Mueller, who began on Friday, says it’s been better than he ever expected as he's been interviewed by the Atlanta Braves flagship radio station and Fox Sports. He was also treated to a bag of Chicago Cubs goodies when he was spotted in the stands. Mueller has set up a website, 30parks30days.com, where followers can track his progress and make donations to the cause. (JK)
