Baseball Road Trip
In and around United States
My buddy Chris and I decided we wanted to see Yankee Stadium before it was torn down. Instead of just going to New York, I had the bright idea of driving across the country, and go to as many parks as we could along the way. After much planning we created a 16 day road trip, through 9 cities, going to 10 baseball games. We both are big Oakland A's fans, and were also able to coordinate the trip to see the A's in Cleveland and Boston.
