In my humble opinion, there is nothing better than a good baseball trip. A good prerequisite would be that you are a fan of baseball, or at least a fan of the American tradition. One of the biggest obstacles to road trips is the strain it can put on your budget. However, a baseball road trip, if done right, doesn’t have to cost that much. There will be more information on that later. Here are some ideas for a great baseball road trip:

Midwest

If you live in the Midwestern United States, Wrigley Field is the most historic ballpark within easy reach. If you have never visited Wrigley Field, you should make sure you go there. The second oldest ballpark still in use, Wrigley is like stepping back in time. Ivy running down the brick walls in the outfield, and you’ll notice the lack of a giant screen and other amenities we’re used to in newer ballparks. If you haven’t already guessed, I’d make sure you plan a trip to the Midwest around a visit or two to Wrigley Field.

Another idea for a trip to the Midwest is to visit the Cardinals at Busch Stadium. This is about 5 hours from Chicago, but it’s also a great place to catch a game. While in St. Louis, visit the Gateway Grizzlies minor league team. Tickets are cheap and they have a menu item featured in Chowdown Countdown and Man vs. Food on the Travel Channel. You can bite into the flavor of a bacon cheeseburger where the bun has been replaced with a Krispy Kreme doughnut. St. Louis is also home to 3 of the top 100 heart hospitals; just in case the Krispy Kreme burger outdoes you.

At this point, you’re also just a short drive from Kansas City, where you could watch the Royals play. You can also go from Chicago to Milwaukee, or just go to the south side of Chi-town and watch the White Sox play a day or two later. Chicago is also convenient to Cincinnati, with just over 4 hours of travel time. The good thing is that all of these cities have more to offer than just baseball, as if you needed to do anything else.

East Coast

Every baseball fan needs to take a nice baseball trip to the East Coast. Although the classic Yankee Stadium is now a memory, you can visit the New Yankee Stadium, which is one of the most beautiful ballparks in all of baseball. Love them or hate them, everyone likes to watch a Yankees game. If you’ve been to New York, you can also catch a game at Citi Field, which is the new ballpark for the New York Mets. It’s always a good idea to save money to watch multiple ballgames when the teams are so close. Maximizing baseball while minimizing the cost of gasoline; perfect!

Once you’re in New York, I’d say Fenway Park in Boston is a must-see as well. This is the home of the Green Monster, the massive green wall in left field, and is the oldest active ballpark. Even if you don’t like baseball, you will like Fenway. The atmosphere is unique, the fans are intense, and the place is full of character. If you’re going to the East Coast on a baseball road trip, go to Fenway first.

Other options worth exploring are the cool Camden Yards baseball stadium in Baltimore and the new Washington Nationals stadium in DC This is another 2 birds with one stone opportunity. The parks are close enough to stay at the same hotel for 2 nights and travel to each stadium each night.
