A Tour Across Baseball
Travel
Audio By Carbonatix
This summer, it’s not about overpriced hot dogs or nosebleed seats at MLB stadiums. It’s not about which team has the flashiest jumbotron or who’s leading the division. No, this summer is about the soul of the game—where it started, how it evolved, and why it still captures the hearts of millions.
Beginning the week of Memorial Day and running through Labor Day, join me and Linda Perillo for a virtual tour unlike anything else in baseball storytelling. Every Travel Tuesday on-air and online at That Passport Life, we’re peeling back the commercial layers of the modern game and diving deep into the real history of baseball.
We’re hitting the iconic landmarks, yes—but with a twist. Cooperstown is on the list, of course, but we’re not just showing you the Hall of Fame plaques. We’re telling the stories behind them. We’re walking the ghostly baseline at the Field of Dreams, not for Hollywood nostalgia, but to understand the magic that place represents in American culture.
We’ll head to Louisville, where bats become legends and wood meets myth. We’ll explore the history of the glove—yes, the very leather stitched by American hands that’s caught fly balls, broken in with dirt and oil, and passed down through generations.
But it’s not just the places—it’s the people. The ones who built sandlots out of backyards. The unsung heroes who stitched seams and turned ash wood into lightning rods. The Negro League pioneers. The barnstorming legends. The war-time players who left the field for the front lines.
This isn’t a tour for stat-heads. It’s for dreamers. For dads and daughters playing catch in the backyard. For kids with torn caps and scraped knees pretending they’re in the bottom of the ninth. For everyone who’s ever believed a summer afternoon could stretch into forever when a game is on.
So get ready. Every Tuesday, all summer long. Virtual visits, special guests, deep dives, and a celebration of America’s pastime the way it should be remembered.
The road to the heart of baseball is calling—and we’re taking you with us.
