Like many baseball fanatics, Jack White had a simple, if exhausting, item on his hardball bucket list: watch a game in every Major League Baseball park. It’s doable, but you have to have the time, the money, and the inclination to travel from coast-to-coast, as well as up to Canada, to hit all 30 MLB stadiums.
Well, White hit it out of the park over the weekend when he announced that he and two of his friends had completed their “longtime mission” of seeing a ball game in every MLB stadium. “The Philadelphia Phillies versus the Detroit Tigers at citizens bank park in Philadelphia. (Tigers won!),” he wrote in a triumphant Instagram post about his beloved Motor City team besting the home squad on Saturday (Aug. 2).
In the post featuring a pic of White, 50, at Philly’s Citizens Bank Park, as well as another outside the stadium with his fellow baseball fanatics and a few more shots from inside, White added, “It was a beautiful park,” before asking the burning question on the mind of any baseball completist eager to fill out their scorecard with no errors.
“Now a question for the baseball public: is it necessary that we see a game in the temporary stadium that the Tampa Bay Rays are currently playing in?,” he asked of the Florida team that is currently playing at minor league George M. Steinbrenner Field in Tampa after damage to their home base, Tropicana Field, from 2024’s Hurricane Milton. “Have we completed the journey or not since the stadium is only temporary? Note; we have seen a game already at the temporary home to the Athletics, Sutter health park in Sacramento.“ The former Oakland A’s moved to West Sacramento in 2025 on a temporary basis until their planned relocation to Las Vegas.
White is an avowed baseball superfan, posting in March about a vintage jersey gifted to him by Pearl Jam singer Eddie Vedder that he wore to a Cubs-Dodgers game in Tokyo, where he was seated next to Cubs stalwart Bill Murray. He also rocked the National Anthem at a Tigers Game against the Chicago White Sox in 2022 — he threw out a first pitch at a Tigers game in 2014 — and invested in baseball bat company Warstic alongside Tigers All-Star Ian Kinsler in 2016.
