Baseball fever is in the air and in just a few days Major League Baseball will be kicking off opening day in the City of Brotherly Love, where the World Champion Philadelphia Phillies will play against the Atlanta Braves.

And if there's one thing is for sure, die-hard baseball fans will be traveling miles away, braving the rainstorms, humidity, cold, or the extra long ball games (you know, the ones that goes into extra innings and neither team scores a run until the 12th inning) to cheer on their teams.

Last season, as a compromise with my significant other over baseball and shoe shopping, I accompanied him to three baseball games across the East Coast from Boston to Philadelphia to follow his New York Mets team and suprisingly, I had a wonderful time!

I barely remember the games or which player hit the homeruns.  What I do recall were the baseball stadiums and the amazing architectural structures and imperial-like designs.  Sitting in the bleachers, you become engulfed by the electric roars of excitement: fans discussing game strategy, everyone swaying and singing to "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" during the seventh inning stretch, and the enthusiasm of fathers who brought their sons and daughters to learn the game of baseball.

If you're planning a baseball-themed road trip, be sure to check out Roadside Baseball.  It's a travel guide of baseball landmarks all over the country broken by regions.  Stay in the same hotel as Babe Ruth did in Deadwood, S. Dak., or visit Jackie Robinson's fomer home in Pasadena, Cali.  at 335 pages, there's likely more baseball landmarks in this book that can be covered in a lifetime.

As we rally for our teams to win a spot in the playoffs this season, here are some of my favorite baseball stadiums filled with great history and rowdy fans to visit:

Coors Field in Denver, Colo.:

While the majority of the seats in Coors Field are dark green, fans who gets to sit in the purple seats in the upper deck would be happy to know that they are sitting at the level of the Mile High city's mile elevation point.  During the game, be sure to grab a beer from the Blue Moon Brewery at The Sandlot, a microbrewery/restaurant that has a direct entrance to Coors Field.

Fenway Park in Boston, Mass.:

Fenway Park is considered a vintage ball park where Babe Ruth launch his major league debut as a starting pitcher.

There are two unique features about this baseball stadium.  First, there is "Pesky's Pole," a short, yellow pole firmly planted in the far right field to indicate the foul and fair balls.  Next is the infamous "Green Monster," the left field wall that has been the objection of many baseball players' homerun nightmares that requires the player to swing a little harder to knock one out of Fenway Park.  The green wall stands at 37 feet 2 inches high.

Wrigley Field in Chicago, Ill.:

Built in 1914, Wrigley Field is the ultimate classic baseball stadium where each Chicago Cubs victory is acknowledged with a Cubs Win Flag flown after every Chicago Cubs home game.  The white flag is flown on the outside of the stadium.

It has been 101 years since this baseball stadium has celebrated a World Series victory, we'll see if this year the Chicago Cubs fans will finally have their 2004 Red Sox moment.

AT&T Park in San Francisco, Calif.:

During games, along the foul portion of the wall, fans regularly line up the rubber chickens whenever a Giants player is intentionally walked indicating that the pitcher for the opposing team is "chicken" for not pitching correctly to the Giants player.

One prominent feature of AT&T Park is the Splash Hit counter that keeps track of how many homeruns have been hit out of the baseball stadium and into McCovey Cove.  It is also on the Cove that eager fans waiting in the water with their boats or kayak will dive into the water to retrieve the ball.

The special bonus about watching a game at AT&T Park is the wireless internet access available in the stadium.
