2008 Northeast Baseball Tour

As a long-time and die-hard baseball fan, having the chance to visit Yankee Stadium is something I've always wanted to do. That goal was shared by my aunt, Marybeth. And that simple shared goal, with the clock ticking on visiting the current stadium, expanded into a shared dream vacation: attending games at all the stadiums in the Northeast, along with visiting the Baseball Hall of Fame, between July 24 and Aug. 1. Ten days, 12 teams, seven stadiums, eight games was how the brochure for Broach Sports Tours described it. "Perfect" sounded good to us! So on the morning of the 24th, Marybeth, Eileen and I flew from O'Hare to Pittsburgh to begin the adventure. And I'll capture some of the highlights by day here!
