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.
Places like Fenway Park, Yankee Stadium, and Citizens Park are home to storied teams with histories of World Series wins and hall-of-fame players. What could be better than visiting each, taking in a game, and enjoying a guided tour through baseball lore?
This Labor Day weekend (8/29-9/2), the five-day Take Me Out to the Ballparks tour — by ESPN Experiences — does just that, immersing you in the history and culture of the sport. Here’s what you need to know.
