Baseball Byways

Joined Atlas Obscura in 2016

The two of us have been traveling around the United States since 2002 to see major and minor league baseball. Since it launched and to this day, we have used Atlas Obscura to plan our destinations between games. During the pandemic, however, we stopped updating our "Been Here" list. It is, after all, about going, not claiming to have gone.
