Begin in Baltimore, Md. Granted, Oriole Park at Camden Yards is the newest ball field on the block, having been completed in 1992. But the stadium has been widely praised for its classic, fan-friendly design. Plan to arrive in town by early afternoon, in time to get to the Yards for the game against Toronto at 7:35 p.m. The next day take a guided stadium tour and visit the Babe Ruth Birthplace and Baseball Center, a national landmark that also houses the Baltimore Orioles Museum and the Maryland Baseball Hall of Fame. You might also venture over...

Still, no fan would want to miss seeing the Green Monster, the 37-ft.-high left-field wall painted in 1947. The Red Sox play Toronto (with ex-Red Sox legend Roger Clemens) on July 23, but before game day, spend a couple of days...
Begin your trip in Gettysburg, which this summer celebrates the 135th anniversary of the famous battle fought there. From July 1 through July 5, some 20,000 re-enactors--and thousands of spectators--will meet at a farm about two miles from the Gettysburg National Military Park for what is billed as "the largest gathering of Blue and Gray since the Civil...
