This is a comprehensive guide to all the diverse
and fascinating ballparks throughout the country by
two entertaining young writers whose love for the game
of baseball and the game of life overflows from each
page. Pahigian and O'Connell's approach to skillfully
planning and fully appreciating a road-trip or a visit
to a single park is funny and irreverent and loaded
with information designed to make the most of the experience.
Part travel manual, part ballpark atlas, part baseball
history book, part restaurant and city guide, and,
not least, part epic narrative, The Ultimate
Baseball Road-Trip encompasses all the essential
elements of a full-blown baseball road-trip. 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 narrative that reminds
us that baseball is often the ultimate metaphor for
the important things in life.
