Take Me Out to the Ball Game
Guest Author - Karon Warren

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 ballpark, 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.

Texas Rangers

A member of the American League’s West division, the Texas Rangers look forward to a promising year. It’s been almost 10 years since this team made it into the postseason, so these players are quite hungry to re-visit the playoffs. With a schedule that includes division rivals Seattle Mariners and Oakland Athletics as well as fellow league members Detroit Tigers and Tampa Bay Devil Rays, among others, the action is sure to be exciting all season long. Catch a game today at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington.

Houston Astros

Playing in the crowded Central division of the National League, the Houston Astros hope to return to the top form that took them on their first ever trip to the World Series in 2005. With such division rivals as the St. Louis Cardinals and Cincinnati Reds, as well as other member teams like the Atlanta Braves and the Arizona Diamondbacks, to name a few, the road to the postseason will be long and difficult. Lend your voice and support by cheering on the Astros at Minute Maid Park in Houston.

Although spending a day at the ballpark certainly provides quite a few hours of relaxing entertainment, why not take it a step further and turn your outing into a weekend getaway? Both cities offer a wide variety of hotels, resorts, and bed-and-breakfast inns that would make the ideal retreat for any group. Whether a fun family treat, a romantic rendezvous or a few days with the guys, you can’t beat a little baseball, popcorn and Cracker Jack.
