“Take Me Out To The Ball Game” Becoming Big Business

Three decades ago a friend of mine took his girlfriend on a scenic tour of what you would call the “Rust Belt” – cities that were once powerhouse industrial towns in the east-central part of the country.

Only their tour of Cleveland, Detroit, Detroit, Pittsburgh, and Philadelphia was not about steel mills or any other industry. It was a tour of the old, classic baseball stadiums, all charted out so they would see a game in as many stadiums as they could fit into a two-week schedule.

Three decades later, I am still jealous of that tour.
