Take Me Out to the Ball Game Whether spring, summer or fall, there’s not a better way to enjoy the great outdoors than attending a baseball game. From a pick-up softball game or local little league game to watching the pros at a major league ball park, kicking back in the bleachers and soaking up the sun while enjoying a good game is an ideal way to spend a few hours. Of course, there’s something a little more special about seeing the major league boys in action, so check out these teams as they take the field throughout the season. Atlanta Braves www.atlantabraves.com Playing at Turner Field just south of downtown Atlanta, the Atlanta Braves hope to recapture the glory they enjoyed throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, when the team racked up 14 consecutive division titles and one World Series title. A member of the East division of the National League, the Braves will face such division rivals as the New York Mets and Washington Nationals, as well as opposing teams in the rest of the league. Fans also will have the opportunity to see the Braves take on a few American League teams as well. Florida Marlins Marlins.mlb.com Taking to the field at Dolphin Stadium in Miami, the Florida Marlins look to build on a young team who made their presence known in 2007. Their goal is to capture another World Series title, a feat last accomplished in 2003. Like the Atlanta Braves, the Florida Marlins play in the National League East division, and will take on fellow division rivals including the Philadelphia Phillies and the Braves. The team faces a selection of American League teams during the season’s interleague play as well. Tampa Bay Devil Rays Rays.mlb.com Also playing in Florida, the Tampa Bay Devil Rays play their home games at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg. An American League team in the East division, the Devil Rays will face fellow division teams such as the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees. But, unlike most other major league baseball fans, fans of this team can see actual rays right at the stadium. Located just behind the right centerfield wall, a 10,000-gallon tank is home to more than 30 rays, which fans can touch and feed throughout the game. Also, since the stadium is actually a domed facility, you never have to worry about the weather! | Related Articles | Previous Features | Site MapContent copyright © 2008 by Karon Warren.
