Hey Wendy,

That’s a big draw; lots of stuff to do that doesn’t even involve watching the game (which may be a problem for those parents who actually DO want to watch the game!)

Newark Bears games (at Riverfront Stadium in Newark, N.J.) are very child-friendly. For kids who get bored there’s face painting, a bouncy castle, etc.

Hi Bridget,

Thanks for the tip on San Jose (gee, SOMETHING that’s affordable in Silicon Valley!) The minor leagues are funny that way – each park and team are different, yet many things across the country are the same when it comes to the experience of enjoying a minor league game.

So true! One of my favorite Fourth of July’s was spent at the San Jose Giants Game. The Police Chief threw out the first pitch after landing a helicopter on the field. The fireworks were great. The same man blows out his vocal cords leading the cheers at every game, and the BBQ is cheap and luscious. If you are in San Jose check it out!

Hi Jamie,

Yes, the minor leagues are a lot easier on the wallet, and you can get closer to the action and the players, too.

What a GREAT idea! I though our last annual baseball outing might be our last when I tallied up what we spent (San Francisco Giants at AT&T Park, ouch).

I’m all over this minor league business.
