Father turning family tragedy into every baseball fan’s dream of visiting 30 MLB stadiums in 30 days
Jonathan St. Clair, a lifelong baseball fan, is visiting all 30 Major League Baseball stadiums in 30 days over the summer to raise awareness about water safety and drowning prevention. He is undertaking the journey 12 years after the death of his 21-month-old son, Jasper, who drowned in an unattended, ungated swimming pool while in the care of a babysitter, turning a personal tragedy into a public awareness campaign.
Jasper was St. Clair's firstborn child and had been left unattended for only a few minutes at a home with an ungated pool when the accident occurred. Twelve years on, St. Clair is using his passion for baseball as a platform to highlight the dangers of unsecured pools and the importance of supervision around water, timing his tour to coincide with the MLB season.
