PETE'S BOOK IS NOW AVAILABLE!!!

In April 2007 Pete Taylor set off on a mission: to see a baseball game in every major league baseball stadia in the United States and to see a minor league baseball game in every state that does not have a major league franchise. His journey took him from Maine to Montana, from the Carolinas to California and from Alaska to Hawaii.

The book of his journey is now available.

Entitled "Brit at the Ballpark: An Englishman's Baseball Tour of all 50 States" the book is described as:

"the journey Peter A. Taylor undertook during the summer of 2007, when he set out to achieve a long held ambition and see a baseball game in every major league ballpark, a minor league game in those states without a major league franchise, plus the All-Star game and the post-season. His adventures along the way include throwing out a first pitch in Connecticut, becoming a TV reporter for the post-season, and undergoing an eye operation. It also looks whimsically at America’s pastime, and America, through the eyes of an Englishman, and how we are, in the words of George Bernard Shaw, "two nations separated by a common language."

You can order the book From:

or direct from the publisher, McFarland.
