I haven't read all of this book yet, but I can already tell it will be a valuable "read-for-the-rest-of-my-life" type book. Basically this book has the author tell you what he likes about each ballpark in Major League Baseball, how to get there, how to explore the city around it, best places to eat and drink, best seats and must things to do while hanging out at or near the ballpark. A great reference guide and an absolute must for baseball fans, especially those that like to ballpark chase.

A great resource with a lot of information for a major league baseball stadium road trip, including tips for planning your trip, how to spend your time on game day, what to see at the stadium, game costs, and nearby attractions. The only thing missing is the ball park layouts, showing seat numbers/sections, but that information is found easily online. Very useful!
