Summary:
The Eastern League is an affiliated Minor League of Major League Baseball and its teams are at the double-A (AA) level of the MLB minor league organization. This league has 12 teams, which are located in 9 of the Eastern states. North most (and also the most eastern) of the Eastern League teams is the Portland Sea Dogs located in Portland, Maine. The Sea Dogs are the AA team for the Boston Red Sox. The Richmond Flying Squirrels, Richmond, VA, is the most southern team and the west most team is the Akron Aeros, Akron, OH. The Flying Squirrels and Aeros are members of the minor league organizations of the San Francisco Giants and Pittsburgh Pirates, respectively. The 12 teams are organized into two 6 team divisions: the Eastern Division and Western Division.
The intent of the "Eastern League Baseball Roadtrip" was to see 3 of the Eastern League teams play at their home stadiums. It was conducted as a series of daytrips from the metropolitan New York City area. For this reason, teams that reside within approximately a 2 hr drive of NYC where chosen as the destinations. The three teams that I selected were:
Trenton Thunder, TrentonNJ: affiliate of the New York Yankees
New Britain Rock Cats, New Britain, CT: affiliate of the Minnesota Twins
Reading Phillies, Reading, PA: affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies.
These three teams are all members of the Eastern Division of the Eastern League.
Play of two other Eastern League teams was seen as part of the roadtrip. The Altoona Curve, which is the AA affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates, was the visiting team in Trenton and the Harrisburg Senators (Washington Nationals AA affiliate) was the opponent for the Reading Phillies at their home game. Altoona and Harrisburg are both Western Division teams.

Twitter Roadtrip Information:
The twitter for each of the games attended includes pre-game tweets with information about the league, each team participating in the game, and the probable starting pitchers. After the end of the game, post-game tweets summarized the result: winning team, final score and team stats, and additional information, such as the winning and losing pitchers and game highlights.
After graduating from New York University with a Master of Science Electrical Engineering Degree in the early 70’s, I embarked on overlapping career paths that lead me through a 25+ year career in the semiconductor/electronics industry and a 15+ year career as an educator of Electrical Engineering and Electronic Technology students.
Early on in my teaching career, I identified that my strength was in the area of course development and design. With this in mind, I created a number of unique courses on the topics of logic design and microprocessor technology in the late 1970s. At that moment in time, these areas of electronic technology were leading the way in changing the world of computing and computers. Eventually, I used these course materials as the basis for writing books on these subjects. In this way, I established a third parallel career (30+ years) as an author. Since the late 70’s, I have authored more than 25 text and reference books (including editions) for the field of Electrical Engineering. Today, I am semi-retired and teaching Electrical Engineering courses based on my textbook.
