Visiting a major league ballpark puts you front and center with America’s pastime. Perfectly groomed fields, the finest players in the game, and hot dogs and beer create a uniquely American experience. Watching a fastball crack off the bat and hearing the crowd roar is a summer celebration, especially when you’re in a historic venue.
