Boyd made the mistake of mentioning a baseball road trip. Which got me thinking about my ultimate mid-atlantic/midwest baseball trip, round trip from Burlington, NC. Here we go:
Day One: day game in DC (do the trip in 2008 so the new park is open) and night game in Baltimore at Camden Yards.
Day Two: Philly for CB Park
Day Three: Williamsport for a day of early-round LLWS games then Pittsburgh for PNC
Day Four: Cleveland for The Jake
Day Five: Detroit for Comerica
Day Six: Chicago for a day game at Wrigley and night game at The Cell
Day Seven: St. Louis for new Cardinal Stadium
Day Eight: Indy for Victory Field and the first minor league stop on the tour
Day Nine: Cincy for a day game at Great American and a night game at Fifth Third Field, home of the class A Dayton Dragons
Day Ten: Drive Home from Dayton.

Ten days, ten MLB ballparks, 2 epic minor-league ballparks, and a day at the Little League World Series. Figure $15 per ticket and 2 people on the trip and that’s $300 for MLB tickets and let’s say $30 for minor league tickets. 9 nights in a hotel, $500. Food, another $300. Gas, another $400. Souvenirs, incidentals, etc. another $300. Figure $1500 for the total trip.
