Baseball season is right around the corner. A while back, I compiled data about baseball parks into convenient XML. I smushed it together with GoogleMaps, so you can see where all the ballparks are at one swift glance: Major League Baseball Ballparks.
Google Maps Mania blog has tons of other google maps implementations for locations of stadiums. Nearly God Baseball offers a listing of all ballparks around the world in their World Ballpark Tour. Fantasy-baseball.com has a good map of all North American parks here, including minor league parks, as well.
Next step: a quick app that combines team schedules and GoogleMaps’ direction-giving ability for scheduling road trips to see as many games in as many stadiums in as little time as possible.
