Great guide for those who love baseball & travel!

This is a a great book for those who love to travel to baseball games with the family. My only complaint would be that it doesn't cover every MLB stadium. On the plus side, it includes independent and minor league stadiums.

A guidebook to a fantasy roadtrip for baseball nuts...

I picked up this book because, like many baseball fans, I've thought of one day seeing all the major league ballparks (or at least those worth seeing). Baseball Vacations doesn't disappoint, offering information on baseball parks clustered into chapters by region or theme. It's mainly addressed to families, but a couple like us can get a lot out of it too.My only beef with their reviews came when they labeled Dodger Dogs mediocre, quite a slight to the Dodger fan. Hmm, maybe they didn't try the grilled ones.Anyway, they offer seating tips (like which seats have obstructed views), parking, lodging, sightseeing and entertainment options, although the latter two would be better served if you accompany your trip with a local guide.I really like the pleasure they take in describing the historic parks. You can identify with their love for the game.I would recommend it to the true baseball fan in search of the past.
