Summary

  • Jonathan St. Clair is crossing MLB in a 30-day, 30-stadium trip to push water-safety awareness, 12 years after his 21-month-old son Jasper drowned in an ungated pool.
  • Toronto, Detroit and Cleveland marked the latest legs of a route built around 17 flights, six drives, four trains, one boat and one bike, with St. Clair trying to avoid rainouts and travel disruptions.
  • A life jacket and a cap showing all 30 team logos have become his conversation starters at ballparks, helping him connect fans with local drowning-prevention groups in every city.
  • Recent U.S. drowning deaths helped spur the campaign, and St. Clair said its real measure will be the reach and awareness it creates after the 30 days end.
