A father-and-sons journey through baseball parks

Joe Dirusso’s account begins with a family goal: visiting all 30 Major League Baseball ballparks. Making the trip work means coordinating game schedules, travel, and a budget, while adapting the plan as obstacles arise. Baseball provides the organizing thread, but the journey also takes the family across the country to see U.S. landmarks and scenery. The description frames the outing as a shared adventure in which a father hopes to connect with his sons through the sport they love and learn more about baseball along the way. Whether they reach every park remains the question at the heart of the trip.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in baseball and family travel
  • Baseball fans curious about visiting Major League ballparks
  • Readers interested in a father-and-sons adventure across the United States

Book overview

My boys, Joey and Frankie, are avid baseball fans and know a ton of stats unlike myself. I like baseball and love going to a game but that's as far as it goes for me. I came up with this idea for visiting all MLB ballparks as a way to bond with them both and learn more about the sport they both love. The big question, how the heck are we going to do this? We are going to need a plan! A plan that incorporates MLB schedules, travel time to these ballparks and a budget to cover it all. A plan that would change as we overcame many obstacles along the way to hopefully achieve this Manibase destiny! A plan that would take us cross country on an exciting adventure as we all got to see not just the ballparks but the beauty and landmarks of the good old USA. Will we get to all 30 MLB ballparks? Join us and this exciting father and son baseball adventure in our attempt to accomplish what few have done. See you at the ballpark!
