This fun-to-read regional guide follows the success of Fodor's Baseball Vacations, which continues to lead families all over the country to one-of-a-kind getaways. The Midwest is the perfect spot for a baseball vacation: Fans can journey to the Louisville Slugger factory, or check out beautiful Jacobs Field in Cleveland. The famous Toledo Mudhens, who've been playing since 1890, are "a joy to watch", as are the Class A Kane County Cougars. Nearby in Chicago, Wrigley Field offers an experience "as pure as baseball gets" and the excitement of Sammy Sosa's home run chase. A magical day awaits in Dyersville, Iowa, at the real "Field of Dreams" where 60,000 fans a year run the bases at the cornfield-turned-ballfield. When fans head out to a ballgame in the Midwest, they won't care if they ever get back.
