I had the pleasure of meeting Ray at Border's book store here in Sacramento and hearing his story besides reading it. I even got him to autograph a baseball. I have always said "if I win the lotto I will go to a baseball game.....in every stadium in the MLB circuit..." Well, Ray, surely accomplished that...now it is my turn. Great stories. Thanks Ray for writing it.

I can remember my dad and I discussing a similar trip after I graduated. Ray Bergman, however, had the gumption to do it, and do it right. I enjoyed every fleeting chapter as Ray worked his way across North America visiting all of the 26 major league ballparks in his MLBC. Any baseball fan finds themself craving the taste of Ray's unbeatable hot dog of Dodger Stadium or the street sceen on Yawkey Way outside Fenway Park.

I've never been a fan, however, of Won Ton Soup.

Are you a baseball fan? If so, you should not miss this book. This is a view of baseball you can only appreciate if you have ever experienced a warm summer home game,in a familiar ballpark, playing hookey from work. Ray Bergman has, obviously, been there,,done that!

Mr Bergman's book is full of information that would be of interest to a typically "statistics" oriented baseball nut. He writes with humor, data and a passion for the game.

Truly an "under fifteen bucks" well spent.

Ray Bergman shares his experiences in his regular life and as a full time Baseball fan. He lives his dream and writes about it in a clear humorous way. This is the ideal baseball book for teenager's and adult's who love baseball. I loved the way he mixed in his growing up years and how he came to love this game. Every baseball fan should have a copy of Around The Majors In 60 Days

Once you start to read this book you can't put it down. I love how he talks about each ballpark, and the search for the best Wonton soup. If you ever dreamt of making this journey then this book is a MUST READ.

A baseball lovers dream! Attend a home game in every stadium in America in one season. Ray Bergman's love of baseball,gained from attending Giants Games at the Polo Grounds in New York, created and drove an idea that led to this fantastic view of the entire world of baseball.A candid picture of each team and stadium, coupled with a historical chronology of the team changes and moves during this century. For those of us looking for a positive nostalgic look at baseball, this book is most refreshing and a pleasant read.Ray can only be faulted for his continuing loyalty to the Giants, and his continuing disparagement of the Brooklyn (L.A.) Dodgers.
