| On June 20, 1997, I embarked on THE GREAT AMERICAN BASEBALL TRIP -- a nationwide driving tour to
visit each Major League Baseball stadium to attend a game.
Throughout my trip, I examined the state of baseball and its relationship with the
fans.
I watched games from the stands, met with folks from the front office at each team,
talked with members of the media, and looked for player insights on the National
Pastime. I even ate a pretzel from every stadium and reported on its quality.
Thanks to the generous support of The Meta Network, The Great American Baseball Trip was the first fully interactive baseball journey in history. My sister Emily maintained the page and posted pictures from each stadium, post-game statistics and ratings of the food and fanfare associated with each stadium will appear on the web page. So, check out my travels -- and follow along as I traversed the country watching the season unfold. |
