Book Reviews of Fodor's Baseball Vacations, 3rd Edition: Great Family Trips to Minor League and Classic Major League Ballparks Across America (Special-Interest Titles)
Book Review: A guidebook to a fantasy roadtrip for baseball nuts...
Summary: 4 Stars
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.
