Guidebook lists baseball landmarks by state (USA Today)

From USA Today:

A new and updated edition of Roadside Baseball is out for all those who want to turn their love of the game into a road trip.

The $16.95 paperback from Santa Monica Press is organized by state so you can easily find the landmarks and trivia closest to home or your favorite teams by region.

Included in the book are the Buckminster Hotel in Boston, where the Black Sox planned their fix of the 1919 World Series; the original Little League field and museum in Williamsport, Pa.; the birthplace of Jackie Robinson in Cairo, Ga.; Mickey Mantle sites in Oklahoma; and the Joe DiMaggio exhibit in the Martinez Museum in Martinez, Calif., DiMaggio's hometown.
