Every year for vacation we visit a city with a baseball stadium that we have never been to before, and attend at least one game at that stadium. Last year we went to Boston, then New York City. We went to two Red Sox games in Boston. We had been to Fenway Park before, but never to either of the NYC stadiums.

We wore our Boston Red Sox shirts to Yankee Stadium on the day we wanted to tour the stadium. The Yankees were playing out of town that week. They wouldn't let us tour the stadium---said they had stopped giving stadium tours after 9/11. (I personally think it was because we were wearing our Red Sox shirts! ) We did attend a game at Shea Stadium, though.

We are now planning our vacation for this summer. We are going to go to Florida this year, and will try to see the Tampa Bay Devil Rays and the Florida Marlins both in their home stadiums while we are there. My son is 15, will be 16 May 1st, and he has been to baseball games in 15 major league stadiums already.

We have also been to several of the AAA stadiums to watch the minor league teams play. This will probably be our last year of doing this as a family, because our son will be getting a part-time job after our vacation this year, and it may not be practical for him to take time off from work in the future to go with us.
It's been a great tradition for our family.
