How to plan a baseball roadtrip

There's nothing like sitting at a ball park, ordering a hotdog and coke and watching nine innings. It's an event that people of all ages can enjoy and is family fun without the violence (unless a fight breaks out). If you can't think of a family vacation this year, plan a baseball roadtrip to either all 30 stadiums or pick a few of your favorites along the route.
