Baseball Pilgrimage

I know that if you were to ask any baseball fan what their dream would be, everyone would say that they would want to see their team win the World Series.  And most would say that they would want to visit each stadium and take in a game live at each of those venues.  While it would be cool to do that, to see different cities across the country, to see the different aspects of each park, I think that every little thing that these cities and parks have would be lost in the overall goal of seeing them.  Why not aim for a smaller goal? 

For me, I would like to see the Tigers play in each of the American League Central parks.  More than that, I would love to see them win in all five of the parks.  So far, I've seen this happen in three of the five parks.  In Detroit, Kansas City, and Minneapolis.  Been to those three, saw the Tigers win in all three.  The only parks that are left are in Chicago and Cleveland. 

Chicago wouldn't be that difficult to get off this list.  A road trip would be seven hours from the Twin Cities to the Windy City.  Not only would I be able to see the Tigers take on the White Sox, I would take the time to go to Wrigley Field.  That is a place that every baseball fan needs to see before they tear it down.  Wrigley Field and Fenway Park:  the last bastions of greatness in baseball lore.  The hard part of this new found baseball pilgrimage is getting to Cleveland.  I suppose it isn't difficult getting to Cleveland, the difficult part is wanting to go.  Who wants to go to Ohio? 

I suppose on a side bar I would enjoy going to see the Tigers play the Brewers because of the history they have from the old AL East.  Plus, they are close to where we are now, and it's Milwaukee.  Known for their beer, brats, and overall good German food.  A place where your good health and your liver go to die.
