Josh Pahigian featured on CNN Travel

Josh Pahigian, adjunct faculty member in the Department of English and Language Studies, was featured in an Aug. 12, 2011 online CNN Travel story titled "5 great baseball stadiums for a late-summer game." Pahigian, a columnist for ESPN, is author of "The Ultimate Baseball Road-Trip: A Fan's Guide to Major League Stadiums" and "101 Baseball Places to See Before You Strike Out." 

The story explains that growing up in Massachusetts, Pahigian was an automatic Red Sox fan, and going to Fenway Park was akin to a religious experience, with observed rituals. "I would always order a sausage outside Fenway Park and wait for batting practice homers to fly over the 'Green Monster.'"

He goes on to describe his favorite stadiums and why you should take in a game at one of these parks.  Wrigley Field and Fenway Park are testaments to classic old-time baseball parks, he explains, while Camden Yards, PNC Park and the New Yankee Stadium provide a modern experience.
