Two Guys & a Map
Who are these Two Guys?Dave Pasternak and Doug Cohn (known to virtually everyone as "DC") met when both were students at the University of Maryland in the 1970s. We discovered a mutual love of baseball and began attending games together in Baltimore, beginning with Game 7 of the 1979 World Series. Despite DC's irrational love of the New York Yankees, we became fast friends. In 1990 we began the Two Guys & a Map trips on which we travel to different ballparks around North America. The name Two Guys & a Map was coined on our 1991 trip. That's Dave on the left in the black shirt and DC on the right. We think the toddler was with the guy who took this picture for us. After serving a six year term as the Honorable Douglas Cohn, a Family Court Judge of the State of Vermont, DC is now practicing family law. In 2005, DC followed his heart and relocated from Montpelier, Vermont, to Bethesda, MD, where Mary Beth lives. DC has three kids, Dan, Aliyah and Tracy and two grandchildren, Emma and Branaman. Dave is a systems analyst, living in Springfield, VA with his wife Bobbi and their dog Henry. After many years of mourning the loss of his childhood heroes, the Washington Senators, Dave was thrilled with the return of baseball to the city of Washington in 2005. We've seen a lot of the country on these trips - our Two Guys travels have taken us to games in twenty four different states (Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin) as well as one Canadian province (Ontario) and the District of Columbia. In addition, we have traveled through ten other states (Arkansas, Delaware, Kansas, Kentucky, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Vermont) to get to and from the games. We've seen games in the oldest parks (including the original Comiskey Park, Wrigley Field, Fenway Park, Tiger Stadium, all of which were opened before 1920) and the newest. We've been to Major League Baseball games and to the lower levels of the minor leagues. We've been in stadiums with huge crowds, over 40,000 people in many cases and we've been to games with much smaller attendance - once we were part of a "crowd" of 86 fans. In addition to the organized Two Guys trips, we've seen games together in Memorial Stadium and Camden Yards (both in Baltimore), RFK Stadium and Nationals Park (both in Washington D.C.), Yankee Stadium (New York), Veterans Stadium (Philadelphia) as well as minor league games in Woodbridge, VA and Waldorf, MD. Every once in a while we go to games with other people: DC has been to Candlestick Park (San Francisco) and Olympic Stadium (Montreal). Dave has seen games in the old Busch Stadium (St. Louis), Exhibition Stadium (Toronto) and Qualcom Stadium (San Diego).

There are other things which enrich our lives besides baseball. This site is dedicated with much love to the memory of DC's dad, Abe Cohn - the one who brought a smile to everyone's face; a man who couldn't walk ten feet down the street without talking to someone he knew; the glue that holds the family together. "Holy Mackerel!" It is also dedicated to the memory of a wonderful human being, Dave's uncle, Bernard Pasternak - a terrific guy, who loved baseball as much as anyone we ever met. And to a group of great companions - Levi Pasternak, Toni Pasternak, Sam Pasternak, Bonnie Pasternak, Lucy Pasternak, and Rover Cohn We miss all of them every day.
