Official Itinerary for All the Ballparks Road Trip

I have finished creating the final draft of our itinerary for this summer now that we have all our lodging arrangements and are only missing Mets tickets because they still are not on sale for July. Have I mentioned the New York teams are annoying me to the point I am glad this year is their new stadiums and we do not have to go back anytime soon to visit a new stadium there. Below is the itinerary with the games and other sites we are taking in along the way.

Last Updated August 4, 2009 with links to the posts about things we have done and I have gotten the posts up about so far
