ABOUT JOE’S GUIDES
As highlighted
in USA Today Sport Weekly and
the Sporting News; several daily newspapers; and on hundreds of
radio stations, www.modernerabaseball.com is home of Major League Baseball contributing writer Joe Connor’s annually-updated and highly-acclaimed
electronic ballpark travel guides – A Fan’s Guide To The Ultimate Spring Training Experience; A Fan’s
Guide To The Ultimate Ballpark Tour: Fully Loaded! about Major League, Minor League or Independent League parks; A Fan’s Guide To The Ultimate Japanese
Ballpark Experience; and A Fan’s
Guide To The Ultimate Dominican Ballpark Experience. In November 2005, The World in a Ballpark: Baseball
Goes Global was added, followed by A Fan's Guide To The Ultimate College Ballpark Experience in February
2007 and A Fan's Guide To The Ultimate College Summer League Ballpark Experience in late May 2007. All
guides are available for purchase at the Buy Joe's Guides page.
Like many products
that come to market, Joe's guides resulted from a frustration. Every time Joe would plan one of his ballpark trips he could
never find all the planning information he wanted to in one place. Some had good ballpark planning information, but lacked
sufficient travel planning details, or vice versa. Solution? Joe decided to combine his two passions – baseball and
travel – into comprehensive and easy-to-use electronic guides!
What makes Joe’s electronic guides the best product to
plan a ballpark trip? For starters, it’s the ability to instantly access only the information you need to plan any ballpark
trip at anytime – right at your fingertips – from an actual ballpark’s details to any travel issues. And
because these are electronic guides, you are always armed with the latest information – unlike guides at the local bookstore
that are often outdated!
So say you’re planning a trip to see a couple of ballparks
in the Midwest. Even if you’ve been to the Midwest before and have a good lay of the
land, as well as information on the ballparks you want to see, the task of planning a trip that maximizes the limited time
you may have is still quite daunting. Where do you start mapping your schedule, booking the best airline reservations, rental
car reservations, hotel reservations, buying great seats to the ballgame and much more?
Well, use the guides’ easy-to-use ‘Bookmarks’
to quickly hop to a particular part of the country or team (instead of having to scroll past endless pages). View your options
on how to secure airline, rental car and hotel reservations to that area or city right for you – then book them, using
the Web links inside the guide that take you directly to the deal right for you. Discover whether you need to buy tickets
in advance at a particular ballpark using the guides' customizable links to every team – or whether you can save money
on the surcharges and buy day of game at the box office. Receive tips on saving money on parking, local attractions and much,
much more.
From booking airline, rental car and hotel reservations to
researching game tickets, local attractions and more nearby baseball and sports happenings, Joe’s guides focus on the
planning necessities – right at your fingertips! Even better: if you wish, you can easily print out only the pages you
desire for your specific trip. All you need is a computer, Internet access and Adobe PDF (Portable Digital Format), which
you can download free (www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html).
HOW JOE’S GUIDES WORK: You receive the guide via e-mail, open the attachment and save it to your desktop. Once you’ve
opened the guide, click "Show Bookmarks" to easily click between ballparks using your mouse (instead of having to scroll past
endless pages), and to utilize the resourceful planning information and customizable Web links inside each team (and city)
profile.

10 MORE REASONS WHY
JOE’S GUIDES ARE A WORTHWHILE INVESTMENT!
1. Most important –
They’re useful!
"Planning a vacation to spring training or to major league
ballparks? The guides…can help a fan personalize their vacations with information from hotels to ticket prices." –
USA TODAY Sport Weekly
Planning is the process of overcoming obstacles to accomplish dreams. These
guides were designed to help you plan and maximize a ballpark tour. Designed to inspire, Joe’s simple electronic ballpark
travel guides help fans realize the same dreams he has, providing a wealth of planning information – from airlines to
game tickets and more – right at their fingertips. Also learn from fans that have benefited by visiting the Buyer Testimonials page.
2. Not just a ballpark guide, but a travel guide, too!
Joe’s guides also provide information and Web links to airlines, rental
car agencies, and hotels, plus schedule and ticketing information for other sports teams in town or nearby. This includes
collegiate baseball, additional spectator sports and recreation outlets – from booking a tee-time at a local golf course
to information on horse racing and the top sports bars. Team profiles also features Web links and information to main attractions
in every city and more.
3. Incredibly comprehensive, featuring every team and baseball city,
from the majors to the minors, even the independent leagues!
The power of information on every subject imaginable – right at your
fingertips! Use public transit or drive? Buy seats here or there? All your questions are answered, with a wealth of information
on maximizing a trip to any major league ballpark, such as "quick facts," "securing autographs" or participating in any "pre-game
rituals." Where are the great "photo opportunities"? What are the ballpark’s "pluses" and "minuses"? If I can only spend
so much, what ballpark food item must I feast on?
His guides not only feature information
on individual venues, but also highlight special events, baseball sites and traditions he has enjoyed such as the annual Caribbean
Series; U.S. Little League World Series; U.S. (NCAA) College World Series; Alaska
and Cape Cod Summer Baseball Leagues; European Championships and numerous baseball-related museums around the world.
"A
must-have for any (autograph) collector planning a trip or family vacation to watch their favorite Grapefruit or Cactus Team
League team. Written by noted baseball author Joe Connor, this e-book contains everything you’d ever want to know about
getting player autographs." – Autograph Collector Magazine on "A Fan’s Guide To The Ultimate Spring Training
Experience"
4. Designed with convenience and ease-of-use in mind – even
for the computer novice!
Anyone with even the most minimal computer skills can easily benefit
from the smarts and simplicity of the guides. Just use the 'Bookmarks' to conveniently click on your favorite team, instead
of having to scroll past pages. Then read about – and use the helpful customized Web links – to plan your trip.
Print out certain pages if you’d like, or e-mail Joe any questions.
5. Written from a fans perspective – so you don’t make
the same mistakes Joe did!
Different in style and content from traditional guides or "fact books,"
Joe’s guides are written from a first person, fans-perspective with a budget in mind so you can save time and money
in your planning process!
6. Written by an experienced journalist who’s been to more
than 400 ballparks!
A
Major League Baseball freelance writer and contributor to ESPN.com, FOXSports.com, MLB.com and the FOX Sports
Radio network, Joe has witnessed baseball in more than 400 professional ballparks throughout the world, from the U.S.
(including Alaska and Puerto Rico) to Canada, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Japan, Korea, Nicaragua, Panama,
Taiwan, the Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Mexico, Italy, the Netherlands, Czech Republic, Spain, Germany, Ireland,
Russia, Switzerland, Uganda, Kenya, South Africa, Austria and Australia. This includes visiting every
Major League Baseball ballpark and Spring Training facility; Minor League and Independent League ballpark; major U.S.
college ballpark, as well as enjoying the Major League Baseball World Series; U.S. (NCAA) College World Series;
U.S. Little League World Series; Caribbean World Series; European championships; and numerous baseball museums around
the world. In 2006, he embarked on the Bionic Gloves Veggie Power Ballpark Tour: Fuel of Dreams! where he visited hundreds of Minor League ballparks in North America, plus tons of Independent league and top collegiate
ballparks, among many others. The fact is no journalist in the world has seen more baseball in more places than Joe Connor.
7. Your purchase never depreciates in value.
