The Ultimate Baseball Road Trip, 2nd: A Fan's Guide to Major League Stadiums

The Ultimate Baseball Road Trip is part travel manual, part ballpark atlas, part baseball history book, part restaurant and city guide, and, not least, part epic narrative. Years ago, two baseball fanatics and entertaining writers set out to create a comprehensive guide to all the diverse and fascinating ballparks throughout the country. For the second edition, they’ve done it again, providing updated information on every venue from Boston to L.A., plus brand new chapters for the brand new parks, like the new Yankee Stadium, Philadelphia’s Citizens Bank Park, the new Busch Stadium in St. Louis, the Mets’ Citi Field, San Diego's PETCO Park, Nationals Park in Washington, DC, the Twins’ Target Field, and Miami's Marlins Ballpark. With this book, you can skillfully plan and fully appreciate a road trip or a visit to any single park. Included are ticket and travel information, a detailed guide to the best and worst seats in each park, folklore and statistics on each park, tips on each park's trademark foods, and profiles of nearby sports bars and baseball attractions, all within a lively and fully illustrated narrative that reminds us that baseball is often the ultimate metaphor for the important things in life. Funny and irreverent and loaded with information, the book encompasses all the essential elements of a full-blown baseball road trip.
