Major League & Minor League Baseball
Nothing beats sitting in a lush green field on a hot summer day, with the smell of popcorn, hot dogs, and peanuts in the air, while cheering for your favorite team with other fans in the stands. Sure, basketball, football, hockey, and maybe even soccer may have strong followings, but baseball will always be a symbol of American culture. It has been popular for over 100 years, and always will be, which is why it has been nicknamed “America’s Pastime.” Baseball has had a long lasting impact on both sports and American history, and you can witness a lot of that history at many of the old ballparks such as Wrigley Field, Oriole Park at Camden Yards, Tropicana Field, and Fenway Park, or watch an age-old rivalry between teams such as the Boston Red Sox vs. New York Yankees, Cincinnati Reds vs. Cleveland Indians, or Houston Astros vs. Texas Rangers. Want to watch a game, but don’t want to shell out for major league prices? The minor leagues are just as competitive, but cheaper and more relaxed. Head out to your local minor league team, such as the Charlotte Knights, and watch the stars of tomorrow play. This season, take yourself out to a ballgame and watch your favorite MLB or MiLB players on the diamond.
