I've been scoping around the 'net, hoping to find some data on other crazy people who have tried this, or better yet, succeeded. I can't find anything.

Has anyone ever done this? Do you know where I could read about their adventures?

Am I nuts? Or would a trip like this be worth it?

Feel free to drop me an in-board PM, or send a real message to 30games30days at gmail dot com.

Thanks!

There is a great book you should consider reading called The Summer That Saved Baseball.

The two authors were featured in Mastercard commercials a few years back. It gives a lot of useful information about each city and stadium, as well as some of the issues they ran into. A great read. Perhaps a bit outdated with the new parks that have been built since 1998, but a fantastic read nonetheless.
