Indispensable

Forget the majors. Real baseball is played in places like Pittsfield, MA, Reading, PA, New Britain, CT, and Portland, ME. This book is indispensable to a minor league fan looking to take in the atmosphere of a night game in Asheville or an afternoon contest in Lowell. Personally, I prefer the New York-Penn League variety of baseball, but all leagues are covered here (even the dreaded majors.) Everything you need to know: places to stay, stadium directions, radio station coverage, and all schedules. Last year I took in the Lowell Spinners vs. the Pittsfield Mets in Pittsfield, MA and then followed the two teams for two games in Lowell, MA. (Took in Melville's and Kerouac's haunts while I was at it.) A great vacation that showcased the best of the old parks (Pittsfield) and the new (Lowell) and this book added so much to the trip.
