2012 Ballpark Visits

In 2012, I got a chance to visit 3 Major League ballparks on 2 separate trips. In April, I spent a week in Arizona and Nevada, and got a chance to see a game at Chase Field (see below).

In September of 2012, I took a trip to Missouri, Iowa and Minnesota. This included a game at Busch Stadium in St. Louis (above) and Target Field in Minneapolis (below). Busch Stadium was a nice venue, but Target Field was an absolute gem, one of my top-10 favorite ballparks. I also got a chance to check out the "Field of Dreams" in Dyersville, Iowa, on this trip. It was completely worth the trip and I'd recommend it to anyone who has a remote interest in baseball or the movie.

It was St. Louis that impressed me most as a city in my travels of 2012. Along with Kansas City, it's one of the most underrated cities I've visited in the United States. Missouri as a state definitely surprised me on my two visits there, and I hope to make a return trip to Kansas City and St. Louis in the future.
