Ready for a road trip?

Here's a great story from ESPN.com, highlighting some of the unique seats and features of baseball parks across the country.

Sure, the seats atop the Green Monster at Fenway and the bleachers at Wrigley are included.

What got me were the stories and photos of the minor league fields. There's a Tiki Bar in Florida and a third dugout for fans in California. Included in the mix is Fifth-Third Field in Toledo.

I haven't been to the park in Toledo, or the new one in Dayton, but I've heard great things about both. I'm planning a trip to Toledo for a game this summer.

I still hold a special place in my heart for Cooper Stadium in Columbus, although it won't make it on any Top-10 lists. Really, this has more to do with personal memories than anything of the structure or park itself.
