Take me out to the ball game(s)

Take me out to the ball game(s)

Consider me your guide to summer fun.

Next week, I’ll be embarking on an odyssey of sorts to minor league baseball games around the state.

Each stadium is near or on the way to popular travel destinations for metro Detroiters, so whether you’re heading out on summer vacation or going on a road trip, hopefully the stories in my series will encourage you to take in a ball game at some point.

Specifically, I plan on dropping in on the Traverse City Beach Bums, Lansing Lugnuts, West Michigan Whitecaps (Grand Rapids) and the Great Lakes Loons (Midland).

In each piece, I’ll recap all the highlights from my visits, ranging from the unique aspects and amenities each offers to standards such as ticket prices and where to park and, of course, which items to sample off the snack menu.

Anything interesting that doesn’t make it into print will likely end up here in the blogosphere, so be sure to check back for more trip tidbits and other entries from what should be an exciting summer.
