During the many hours spent on the road during previous Baseball Odysseys I've amassed a recommended Book and Movie list. Much of this is owned and part of the Baseball Odyssey Library Collection. However, many of the books and movies on this list are not part of the collection. Donations of either books or money can be made to the Baseball Odyssey to complete and round out this collection. I welcome any all suggestions and will gladly add to this list.

Thanks to Bill Bates for finding this site that may be of interest to folks featuring satellite photos of many MLB ballparks. Check it out:

Check out these transportation options:

NetJets - Fractional flying, maybe appropriate for the "out in the middle of nowhere" ball parks.

CruiseAmerica - Rent an RV travel park to park.
