Milestone Visit at T-Mobile Park
On May 4 2024, 37-year-old Liza Subik entered Seattle’s T-Mobile Park, marking the 20th of her planned visits to all 30 Major League Baseball stadiums. She met Mariners staff member Bryan Woo, threw a first pitch, and watched Seattle defeat Atlanta 5-4.
Diagnosis and the Decision to Tour
Subik received a stage 4 breast-cancer diagnosis in 2023 at age 34. In February 2024 doctors projected a six-month life expectancy. Faced with limited time, she and her friend Kerri Domingo chose to “take some time together” and pursue their long-standing goal of touring every MLB ballpark.
Travelers: Liza Subik and Kerri Domingo
Subik’s husband, who works in Seattle, and her 12-year-old son have joined portions of the trip. Domingo, a chiropractor, drives the RV and provides on-the-road pain care for Subik’s bone metastases. Their friendship began in fifth grade through shared baseball enthusiasm.
