From the Back Cover

The Ultimate Minor League Baseball Road Trip is the comprehensive guide to minor league baseball parks throughout the country. Josh Pahigian, today’s leading baseball tour guide and co-author of the popular Ultimate Baseball Road-Trip, returns to give fans a book jam-packed with fun and useful tips for spending the day at any one of 119 minor league ­stadiums, plus information on the nation’s many independent leagues!

 Part travel manual, part ballpark atlas, part baseball history, and part restaurant guide, The Ultimate Minor League Baseball Road Trip encompasses all the essential elements of a full-blown excursion along baseball’s “blue highways.” Readers get information on tickets and travel, the history and folklore of each team, comments on food, local traditions and team mascots, even advice on where the best seats are—right down to words of wisdom on how to avoid staring into the sun as it sets in the later innings!  Writing with a love for the game and an insider’s knowledge of its hidden treasures, Pahigian gives fans the one book they'll ever need when planning the perfect minor league road trip.

Customer Reviews

Great Book for Any Bush League Fan5
Clearly a labor of love, this books gets to the heart of the minor league experience, rating the food, mascots, seats and campy promotions that make the bush leagues so special...and it does all that in the framework of a helpful travel guide, while also providing the full history of every minor league team and ballpark. I also really enjoy looking at all of the great photos of the minor league parks across the country. A must read that was long over due for baseball fans...enjoy!

Best bet to plan your visits!5
My son has post-it notes all over this book so that whenever either (or both) of us travels out-of-town for work or pleasure we can plan which team(s) to visit. The directions are mostly accurate, the descriptions vivid and history very interesting. Our main comment is that the author should have made this a loose-leaf edition and issue updates periodically. Highly recommended to baseball fans of all ages.

FANtastic!5
My husband and I just used this book for a week-long trip around the Carolinas and it was absolutely invaluable.
