During our time wrapping up the Windows Phone Baseball Bucketlist tour, the powers that be at Microsoft thought it would be a good idea to let us into their highly secretive home of the future. The home essentially showcases everyday household technology that we’ll be using an estimated 10 years in the future. Johnathan, The Director of Strategic Prototyping and possible mad scientist, gave us the entire rundown of what our future digs will offer and look like. The technology featured in the home is not necessarily the direction well be accustomed to, instead the engineers at Microsoft are encouraged to think in a more non traditional sense and produce software and hardware that skews the perception of technology as we know it now. software that can tell if a plant isn’t getting enough sunlight or nutrition. OLED screens so thin, that they can be used as wallpaper and painted over with normal household paint then used to reveal a subtle message illuminated. Fully interactive tablecloths perfect for a child’s birthday party, or fun dinner party with friends and most importantly, mancaves. Coffee tables that can fully recognize photos and type of a tangible magazine TVs that offer a virtual more »

And we though we were cool kayaking in McCovey Cove… In July Matthew Riese put his DeLorean hovercraft idea on Kickstarter saying “why can’t life be epic?” and people believed in it. With the $5000 Matthew raised he launched the Hover DeLorean in the most epic way possible. The hover DeLorean was spotted in McCovey Cove during Friday’s Rockies vs Giants game crusing around and searching for home run balls. Well done Matthew Riese, you are definitely the Roosevelt of the day.

Now that the Windows Phone Baseball Bucket List trip is complete we had a chance to step back and look at all the apps that helped make three weeks of life on the road more enjoyable and easier for us. We used several dozen apps throughout the trip but here are the MVPs. Photosynth Sometimes it is hard to convey the awe inspiring sights of MLB ballparks (or places we saw while on the road) in words. For those moments there is no better app to have than Photosynth, a panorama app that makes it easy and fun to capture and share interactive panoramas. To keep it simple to understand, Photosynth uses the latest in computer vision techniques to capture 360 degrees horizontally and vertically, making a perfect “sphere.” 4th & Mayor We all know Foursquare. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gone out for a night on the town and in the morning asked myself “where the heck did I go last night.” Foursquare solves that age old question and 4th & Mayor is a quick, clean Foursquare client on steroids. Using 4th & Mayor we checked in from the top of Fenway’s Green Monster and check more »

Well we finally made it. 12 cities later and The Roosevelts have landed in Seattle ready to cap off the Windows Phone Baseball Bucket List Tour with a bang at Safeco Field. Safeco is one of those underrated ballparks with more ammenities than beats the eye. The retractable roof, killer sushi and an art scene that would make even the hippest of Brooklynites blush. The current move to New York might put a damper on the stadium’s Japanese prized signature food, the Ichiroll. A sushi stand behind section 133, is the home to the most coveted sushi roll baseball’s ever had. Unsure if the roll still exists but we’re glad we got to experience the spicey salmon, crab and shrimp delight before they started calling it the Traitor Roll. The Mariners are also very social media savvy, allowing fans to Tweet songs to DJ Supa Sam during batting practice, pictures to the jumbotron and even Tweet at one of the beer vendors using @msBeerVendor your location for a fresh brewski. Seattle’s largest party venue is actually at Safeco Field! The Pen, which opened this year, is located next to the bullpen and offers $5 beers from the ridiculously beautiful Coors more »

When we say “Safeco Field is a beautiful ballpark” we don’t mean “Wow, that’s some emerald-y grass out there.” We mean that the city of Seattle hired dozens of top artists to help create it. We already showed the Nick Cage Easter Egg hidden in the main concourse level but now let’s take a look at five can’t miss pieces at Safeco. “The Defining Moment” freezes the 1995 ALDS in larger-than-life stainless steel. You can say that good art captures an important second, and great art captures an important tenth of a second. After Edgar Martinez lined the series-winning double, Ken Griffey Jr. circled three bases in about twelve giant strides and parachuted into home plate ahead of the throw … in the tenth of a second below, Griffey does not know where the throw is, but Bob Wolcott (directly behind him) does. Every sports fan knows about that 0.0001 of a second in which you first realize that the ball is going to go over the fence. The Mariners hadn’t beaten the Yankees yet, but Wolcott realized that they would. In August of 1995, the city of Seattle had voted down its last chance at a stadium proposal. Go more »

When you think of the quintessential ballpark to house an MLB All-Star game you automatically think of Kansas City, right? No? Well you should, Kansas City waited 40 years to show the world what they had to offer and they definitely didn’t disappoint The Roosevelts or our Windows Phone Baseball Bucket List. See 28 additional photos From the outside, Kauffman Stadium looks like the every other circular aesthetic disaster from the 1960′s- 80′s, with the back of it’s head blown out to fit the largest vertical jumbotron in the MLB. Then you double take, pout your lips and nod your head, because you can’t help but think how unlike any other stadium in the country Kauffman is. Before it’s facelift, a few years ago, Kauffman was just another wet blanket stadium from the days yonder, but now it’s taken a page from the open aired parks of today and it works. The outfield concourse has more personality then all $2 billion stuffed in to Yankee Stadium. The water fountains in centerfield were obviously the biggest attraction the stadium has to offer. Definitely a unique feature no other stadium in the country has. Many a home run derby ball found its way into more »

During our Windows Phone Baseball Bucket List stop in Seattle we took an art tour of Safeco Field. As we looked at one of the works by Gu Xiong called “The Crowd” we noticed one of the faces in the 24-foot long mural was that of Hollywood icon Nick Cage! It is a nice little Easter Egg that everyone can enjoy when you are in town watching the Ichiro-less Mariners.

Red Sox, White Sox, Red Fish, Blue Fish. Who wants to hear about the boring MLB team name’s that exist either for obvious reasons, or local fan polling (see: every recent expansion franchise). The real team names that personify the ‘boys of summer’ are the ones we are most interested in. Sure we’re really only into “our” teams as why else would beat reporters exist if not to keep us interested in things like team history and overlooking HGH allegations? As we roll on with the Windows Phone Baseball Bucket List we give you five teams that can at least keep all of our attention until we go back to convincing ourselves we’ll still be in it in October. Atlanta Braves While the Braves have become “America’s Team”, from over 30 years of TBS national telecasts and generating over one billion afternoon naps, they weren’t always the darlings of extended periods of dead air and 1-0 pitcher’s duels. In 1917 the Boston “Rustlers” became the “Braves”, a reference to the team owner’s political association with the political machine Tammany Hall (like a Super PAC, or Fox News). During their history they’ve been known as the “Red Caps”, “Beaneaters”, and the more »

Seton Hall has a long history of integrating technology into the classroom. They were one of the first campuses in the country to be completely linked up to a wireless network and for almost 15 years they’ve been a ubiquitous competing campus, but this year they’re taking it up a notch. Students will be issued a Nokia Lumia 900 and Samsung Series 7 Slate. The progressive collaboration between Microsoft and SHU is training students to be as tech savvy as possible for the real world. Undergrads not fortunate enough to get a tablet will have to settle for a measly Samsung Series 5 Ultrabook. Word to the wise, keep those gadgets on campus. Newark is literally around the corner.

It was a big week for Major League Baseball. The 2012 Hall of Fame class was inducted, there were some amazing pitching performances led by a one-hitter from Edinson Volquez and several celebrities stopped by ballparks across America to watch their favorite teams play.

We finished up our Windows Phone Baseball Bucket List tour on Friday night at Seattle’s Safeco Field. Throughout the trip we’ve been snapping some nifty panorama photos of baseball stadiums all across America using the HTC Titan II - see the first batch of MLB Stadiums in Panorama here. The pictures have come out incredibly well and we decided to pull together some of the best shots for you to enjoy. These picture make great Facebook Timeline pictures, see what we’ve done to our page here.  If you’re interested in making one of the photos below your timeline just simply crop to  851X315 pixels and upload.

There isn’t a better looking ballpark in baseball. From 100 yards away. The Ballpark in Arlington is the quintessential jewel box park that makes us reminiscent of the golden age parks of baseball. Old Yankee Stadium, Tiger Stadium and Wrigley. See full size image Maybe because there aren’t any imposing structures around it (aside from the new Cowboy  Stadium) to take away from it’s large open air archways or corner towers that couldn’t scream Texas anymore than carrying a concealed weapon. The inside of the park pays homage to the old parks with the right field overhang and centerfield facades, but other than that the inside of the park seems a little dull. Sure the there’s the Cuervo Club, which is probably the best view in the ball park and our first Windows Phone Baseball Bucket List item to cross off. The seats are comfortable and the drinks are good. A great place to watch the ball game unlike our next Bucket List item. See full size image The last corner seat in the upper right field top tier level is actually the furthest seat from home plate in the entire MLB. Although it wasn’t the worst view, the upside more »

When you think of Angel Stadium images of the gorgeous waterfalls in center, fireworks after a win and a team with New York Yankees dynasty potential come to mind. When we think of Angel Stadium we think of all of that… plus the hottest moms in the country. Not sure what it is, but the level of hot babe moms in Anaheim trumps any other stadium in America. So all of that glory (the waterfalls, fireworks, moms) combined with the wide variety of signature ballpark food and great views from anywhere in the park make Angel Stadium of Anaheim a “Disney World for grown men”. The fact that Disney also owns the team makes me a little suspicious. Could Disney be planting hot moms in the stands to attract fans and optimize the ballpark experience? Conspiracy theory for another day. The food at Angel Stadium, while overshadowed by the copius amounts of California cougars, was still some of the best ballpark grub in the country. We’ll start with The Halo Dog, an all-beef hot dog is wrapped with bacon and topped with charro beans, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, and pico de gallo salsa, a south western delicacy with a Mexican twist that screams “Ay more »

Dodger Stadium. The 3rd oldest ballpark in the country celebrates it’s 50th anniversary this year and we were along for the ride. Although historic value alone would be enough to visit this park, we were going to try and knock off a few Windows Phone Bucket List items that accent the stadium’s rich history. The park was actually built in Chavez Ravine in Los Angeles and was the first west coast ballpark erected in 1962. Although there’s no shortage of parking in the lots, because of the huge differences in elevation around the park, it could be more than difficult to find your gate entrance or will call. The stadium is very basic in aesthetics and what it lacks in appeal makes up for with a throwback to the mod days of circular architecture. The pale yellow seats are the stadium’s staple, but one can’t help but think of a weathered Fisher Price plastic toy when looking at them. Overall the park is in great condition considering it’s age, but now that Magic is in the picture maybe its time for a facelift  to compete with the much more fan friendly, less likely to get shanked, blonde bombshell of a stadium more »

A two foot hot dog smothered in sauteed onions, cheese, chili and peppers, and if that’s not enough for you, picture all that goodness living in perfect harmony nestled in a butter glazed pretzel bun. My arm went numb after the first bite, is that bad? The 2.5 lbs of artery traffic was created by Miller Park’s Head Chef John and the brat/dog capital of the country to salute National Hot Dog month and The Roosevelts had the honor of having the inaugural dog to kick off the celebration.

We’ve asked God to bless America, stretched a few 7th innings, and screamed a Neil Diamond song during our baseball bucket list adventure, and along the way we have come across some astounding MLB Superfans. These aren’t your “Kiss Cam” baseball fans. These are the masters of MLB stadium knowledge, the professors of Between Inning Urinal Line Management and Introduction to Nacho Cheese Info Systems. While they will truly be the only people who might actually take you out to the ballgame, there will surely be one lingering thought in the back of your mind as you scour each hero’s prolific summary: What the hell do these people do for income?

AT&T Park has the look and feel that all other ballparks should envy and look up to.  The outside’s aesthetic of brick and steel has turned into the staple combination of the modern ballpark and the science of the ballpark may have been all but perfected with AT&T. Every seat in AT&T offers something unique whether it be a view of the kayakers awaiting a home run ball in McCovey Cove or a view of the Bay Bridge from the right field seats. Aesthetics aside, AT&T offers a plethora of signature style foods and drinks true to the Bay area. Right off the bat we had to get down with some garlic fries. Every food and travel app on our Windows Phones stressed the importance of trying the Gilroy’s Garlic Fries at AT&T. They didn’t disappoint. One could compare the sheer volume of flavor to the size of Barry Bonds’ head. Barry Bonds’ head being the volume of flavor. Barry Bond’s has an unusually large head. The garlic is picked fresh from, Gilroy, California, the garlic capital of the world, not more than 77 miles from the park. The second bucketlist item on our list was the Ghirardelli Hot Fudge more »

Hat tip goes to Infographic World for producing this incredible infographic.

Professional baseball players range from a could-be-your-math-tutor Greg Maddux to a could-be-your-county-lockup-bunkmate John Rocker. Usually we like a Bro somewhere in the middle, the kind of guy who can be paid millions of dollars to play the same sport most of us pee’d our stirrups playing and still seem like someone you’d want to hang out with. Or at least list as an acquaintance on Facebook. These aren’t the only bros in the bigs, but they’d all be a better choice to be around than Kei Igawa.

Last week we got to witness MLB history with John Scott Lewinski of CraveOnline at the Milwaukee Brewers game as Aaron Hill hit for the cycle for the second time in two weeks – a feat that hasn’t been done since the last 1800′s. The stadium was amazing and our new friend for life, Miller Park’s executive chef John Demartini, took us on a food tour of the stadium that included a gourmet southwestern menu prepared for fans to honor the night’s opponent, a 26 inch hot dog called the Giant Slugger and a specialty called the Meat Parfait which was four layers of fresh mashed potatoes layered with pulled pork and barbecued beef. All-in-all the day was a huge win for The Roosevelts/America and a crushing loss to our waistline. Read: CraveOnline’s Windows Phone Baseball Bucket List Tours U.S. Ballparks

Fire up Bing.com and you’ll find immediate access breaking news, an interactive approach to gaining insightful search results, and the ability to see what the second most popular trend on the internet is after Justin Beiber. Bing knows what you’re looking for, and they keep track of it, so when the world searches for the MLB these are the Top 10 players they’re looking for. As our Windows Phone Baseball Bucket List visits Kansas City for the 2012 MLB All-Star Game we present to you the 10 Most Popular Major League Baseball Players On The Internet (According To Bing). Some of the people on the list may come as a surprise to you so if you want to stay your opinion sound off on Twitter by using the hash-tag #WPbaseball. #10 Chris Young Let’s assume Chris Young, the outfielder for the Arizona Diamondbacks, search requests are fueled by marvel at his 2007 rookie campaign where he stole over 25 bases and hit over 30 home runs (and had 68 RBI, which seems impressively low considering at minimum 32 were from home runs alone). Furthermore the search results for a promising talent who hasn’t hit over .260 in his career are lackluster. Or more »

The fifth stadium of our Windows Phone Baseball Bucket List began with an exclusive tour of Miller Park’s unique array of locally made food. Miller Park’s head chef John DiMartini started us off at the Chef’s Table. The table offers up a new menu style at the beginning of every homestand series and thats because the style of food parallels the indigenous ingredients of the opposing teams city. The Brewers were taking on Arizona, so we were promised some good South Western eats. Fresh husked corn off the cob with a southwestern cheese and mayo sauce, complimented by some firecracker sliders. Next stop was the brand new Slugger Hot Dog stand. A two foot hot dog smothered in sauteed onions, cheese, chili and peppers, and if that’s not enough for you, picture all that goodness living in perfect harmony nestled in a butter glazed pretzel bun. My arm went numb after the first bite, is that bad?

The first half of the MLB season is over already? That went fast! We are in Kansas City for the second to last stop of our Windows Phone Baseball Bucket List journey eagerly awaiting the home run derby and All-Star game and go  to talking about the biggest baseball stories and highlights of the year so far. 2012 is clearly the year of the pitcher but there are also several hitting stars who are having their way with the league including a new class of rookies that will be baseball heros for decades to come. With All-Star break here we take a look back at the biggest news stories of the year to date.

During the 4th inning of today’s Twins vs Rangers game in Arlington, TX lightning struck the stadium (or near by) and the ensuing boom of thunder sent players and fans scrambling for cover. We were at the game yesterday for our Windows Phone Baseball Bucket List stop at Ballpark in Arlington, saw Josh Hamilton hit two home runs and a walk-off, all humble brags aside if this happened I would have pee’d my pants a little.

We picked the hottest day of the year to go to Wrigley. Nearly 100 degrees and sweaty outside. Regardless of which we put the 16 megapixel camera function of the HTC Titan II to good use shooting videos and photos all over the stadium. Wrigley Roof Top Just when I thought it couldn’t get any better than the Monster Seats at Fenway we watched a few innings of the game from the Wrigley Rooftops. Blew Fenway out of the water. For $99 you can score a seat on the roof which also includes unlimited food and drinks. Bartman Chair Steve Bartman is to the Cubs what Bill Bucker was to the Red Sox in the 1980′s. The scapegoat of all the team’s problems. The guy has been in hiding ever since the incident in 2003. The chair has been a tourist trap at the stadium so if you want to see for yourself visit Section 4, Row 8, Seat 113. Wrigleyville Wrigley Fiend is a unique stadium because it is set right in the middle of a cool party neighborhood of Chicago. So before and after the game you can head out for your own little bar crawl. Make sure you hit up Casey more »

For the fifth stop of our Windows Phone Baseball Bucket List trip we learned that kayaking AT&T Park’s McCovey Cove is a great and inexpensive way to enjoy a ballgame with your friends. There are two ways to experience the game from the cove. First, you can rent a kayak from citykayak.com. They are located at Pier 40 only a five minute walk from the stadium. The kayaks are only $35. Keep in mind that you need to kayak from the Pier to the cove which takes about 10-15 minutes. The trip is by no means gruling and you don’t need to be fit like the Winklevoss twins but being in decent shape is a plus. The other way would be to buy a four-person inflatable boat from any camping or sports equipment store. The price to buy, about $120-150, will be just about the same a renting a kayak and you can head into the water from shore of McCovey Cove which is less paddling than if you left from the pier. When you get into the cove get into a spot where you can see the video board inside the stadium and turn on your radio to follow more »

We are about half way through our Baseball Bucket List tour. Throughout the trip we’ve been snapping some nifty panorama photos of baseball stadiums all across America using the HTC Titan II. The pictures have come out incredibly well and we decided to pull together some of the best shots for you to enjoy.

Going to Yankee Stadium never gets old. Even though the stadium lost some of its traditional luster after the rebuild, it still makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up when you walk off the 4 or D to have the mammoth conglomerate of steel and limestone revealed. Around the stadium check out some of the bars like Stans, Dugout or The Hard Rock outside Gate D. On to the Windows Phone Baseball Bucket List. Now three things make Yankee Stadium, Yankee Stadium. The history, the team and the fans. Not the suits behind homeplate who wear the occasional Yankee jersey over their dress shirts and leave in the 5th. The fans out in the bleachers who are on a first name basis with Nick Swisher. The Bleacher Creatures. Our first bucket list item was to go “Meet The Bleacher Creatures” and our second was to “Participate in Roll Call” with them. One of the lesser known, but awesome traditions takes place in the top of the first. The Creatures call out every player on the field and don’t stop the chant until that player acknowledges the bleachers. Granderson and Swish get really into it and dance more »

So you’ve put team schedules side-by-side and mapped out a three stadium weekend baseball road trip. Boston to New York to Philly? Cincinnati to Cleveland to Detroit? San Francisco to Los Angeles to San Diego? What ever your route is don’t head out on the road unprepared. Take it from us, the easiest way to prevent animosity between three dudes in a small car is to make sure you have all the tools necessary for a good trip. The Windows Phone Baseball Bucket List has us on the road for three weeks so we are as close to road trip experts as there can be so check out our list below and if you think we missed anything let us know on Twitter by using the hash-tag #WPbaseball. Tethering Internet On Your Mobile Phone In today’s wired society having internet is everything. Don’t be confined to your mobile phone when you could have the power of your laptop available for those long drives.

We’re actually writing this article on the road from Milwaukee to Chicago by tethering to our HTC Radar. Tethering will also save you a bunch of more »

The Tale of Barry Bonds is all too well known by this point. What this infographic, by Craig Robinson, does is visualize the career of the slugger’s home plate appearances through the years. Stats dont lie. Question is in an age where performance enhancing drugs dominated the clubhouse, should stipulations against Barry really matter? Those days of will forver remain baseballs grey area.

As hardcore Yankee fans it is tough for John and I to say positive things about the Red Sox but if there was ever a reason to praise our rivals to the north it would be their stadium. Fenway Park is one of those gems that goes beyond just baseball. It is an American icon that is celebrating it’s 100th birthday so the timing of our visit was perfect. Although the Sox lost to the Blue Jays we picked a great game to attend. The weather started off perfect then around the 6th inning Mother Nature turned on the faucet and the game went into a rain delay. Omar Vizquel danced and lightning struck near by. To avoid the downpour our crew, along with the guys from Bleacher Report, went over to Who’s On First for a few beers then after two and a half hours the game resumed with only a few hundred people in the stands. We saw David Ortiz hit two homeruns and Jose Batista hit a bomb over the Green Monster. We got to hang out with a lot of great fans, the Sox let us sit in John Henry’s seats for a few innings and more »

What better way for us to kick off our #WPbaseball Bucket List than visiting one of the great new American ballparks located at 12001 Roosevelt Ave in Flushing, NY with a few close compadres who just happen to run some of the top lifestyle and sports destinations on the web. When you ask a Mets fan about Citi Field their response usually entails a good story about how “this is the year” (if it’s spring training) or “it’s a rebuilding year” (if it’s after July). Low blows aside Mets fans will also pridefully tell you that every seat in the park has a great view of the action on the field. As you’ll see from the videos and photos from our first stop, Citi Field had charm and plenty of great baseball bucket list items to keep us busy. The stadium is only a few years old but has quickly added an arsenal of food, attractions and interesting superfans. Basically everything you need to avoid watching The Mets.

On Monday night our #WPbaseball Bucket List trip took us up to Boston for the Red Sox game against the Toronto Blue Jays. HTC Titan II has an incredible panorama function built into the phone so that, combined with the 16 mega pixel camera, make for some photographic magic.

Last night we were at Fenway for the Blue Jays vs Red Sox game. It was the second stop of our #WPbaseball Bucket List tour. With two outs in the top of the 7th inning Mother Nature started pummeling Fenway with rain and horrific lightning so the game went into a delay. Determined to cross Sing Sweet Caroline off the bucket list we walked across Yawkey Way to Who’s On First with the guys from BeacherReport to wait things out. After a two hour rain delay we went back into the stadium. With only a few hundred fans still in attendance the music crew decided to turn the stadium into “Club Fenway” pumping the hottest summer clubs songs you can think of. It was a blast. Fans who stuck around were clearly throwing a few brews back during the wait and were dancing in the aisles and seats with hopes of getting on the jumbotron. Omar Vizquel even got into the action and made it on the jumbotron for about 10 seconds. I was pissed at myself for fumbling the HTC Titan II and not being able to get video in time of Omar’s jumbotron appearance, which whipped the crowd into more »

This past weekend American and National League teams faced off for interleague play action. A key game was the Yankees vs Mets Subway series face off at Citi Field. We kicked off our Windows Phone Baseball Bucket List tour on Saturday night at Citi Field with some friends, more on that soon. Did you see our panorama photos of Citi Field? Amazing! Keep following along on The Roosevelts or on Twitter, #WPbaseball. This week Jonathan Papelbon blew a save and paid teammate Jim Thome $5,000 to hit a walk off, game winning homerun. Kevin Youkilis was traded to the White Sxo and left the team in epic fashion and the Yankees stopped R.A. Dickey’s hot streak in it’s tracks. Here is the past week in baseball in all it’s high quality glory, including a few photos we shot ourselves using the HTC Titan II, can you tell which ones we shot?
