Re: Visiting Other Ballparks
Any opinions or suggestions for Nationals Park? Haven’t visited an opposing stadium in a while and am considering driving down for one or both of the games. Parking, hotels, stuff to do in the area (besides visiting all the usual DC stuff which I am not interested in)

I regularly drive down to Nationals Park for games. I can't recommend any hotels, but would suggest getting a place that is proximal to the Metro - although I usually park in one of the park garages, we also go to Greenbelt and take the Metro into the park.
As for what to do in DC - the Smithsonian is always #1 on my list. Quite a collection. If you are into it, the Air & Space Museum out by Dulles is a must see.

Re: Visiting Other Ballparks
So, what does one do when all the hotels less than $500/night in Baltimore is booked? I was thinking of AirB&B but we want privacy.

Re: Visiting Other Ballparks
I don't know about Baltimore, but the one time I used AirB&B, my friend and I had a whole house (half of a duplex, but totally separate entrances) at our disposal. Much more private than a hotel. Search around a bit, and you might find something like that in the Baltimore area.

Re: Visiting Other Ballparks
There are a few reasons I'm trying to avoid AirBnB for this trip. And looking at what's left for private accomodations, anything that's cheaper than remaining hotel rooms is nowhere near the Inner Harbor and I'm not trying to run around Baltimore.
TIL that you can sleep in AirBnB boats. Interesting.Dieting isn't a piece of cake.

Re: Visiting Other Ballparks
Thinking of taking a trip up to Toronto in July to catch Yanks Jays. Anyone have seat recommendations or anything cool I should check out at the stadium?

Re: Visiting Other Ballparks
For the Baltimore series in June I held out too long and couldn't get a nearby hotel for less than $500+/night. I needed up staying at the Holiday Inn Express on North Gay Street and regretted it because I paid a lot and the area sucked.
So for the series in late August I said I wasn't going to book less than a month out otherwise I wasn't going to go. With plans to go to all four games, I booked a hotel for Friday and Saturday nights that was more expensive than I wanted and on the other side of the Inner Harbor (yet still cheaper per night than the last hotel.) Everything near the ballpark was once again sold out for Saturday night (but not Friday night.)
I cant win: ESPN takes the Sunday game. There's no way I leave Baltimore at 11PM on Sunday and make it to work on time and presentable at 9AM on Monday. Had I known this when I booked the hotel, I would not have booked Saturday night.

Re: Visiting Other Ballparks
Any recommendations for Anaheim, San Fran, Oakland, Los Angeles, and Seattle?

Re: Visiting Other Ballparks
I have been to Seattle.
Nice small city, lots to do, good tourist destination.
We stayed at a hotel called the Mediterranean Inn which we liked and they gave us a lower rate for staying more than three days.
Seafood capital.
Good walking town, also has a light rail system to and from the airport, and the famous monorail is a regular transit route.
The ballpark was easily accessible by the light rail system. We got tickets in the 6th row for half of face value on StuhHub. It has a retractable roof - you probably already know that - but it is also open-air, i.e. not sealed up. We were there on a cool July night and needed our jackets.
There are two weather extremes - sometimes rainy and dark, but not as often as legend has it, but when the sun is out the UV's are high.
Enjoyed Seattle a lot and would go back."Any day is a good day when you can play baseball."
