Baseball & Bed & Breakfast = Home Run!

Summer baseball season is in full swing in Central Pennsylvania. Fans from all over are arriving to take in a live baseball game! The small-town feel of the home-team stadiums on a warm July night, coupled with the big-game players (there’s no shortage of talent!) can make a fan out of just about anyone.

If it’s a rivalry you’re looking to experience, plan your trip when the Lancaster Barnstormers are facing off against the York Revolution. These two minor league teams have had a healthy rivalry for years. It is often referred to as “The War of the Roses”. The phrase was coined prior to 1959 when the teams were the Lancaster Red Roses and the York White Roses. You’ll find the teams battling for their wins today in the Atlantic League.

In the Eastern League, you’ll find two local MiLB teams:

• Harrisburg Senators have been phenomenally successful. Over the past 12 years, they have sent up more than 100 players to the Major Leagues. If you’re a Washington Nationals fan (or not!) you’ll certainly enjoy watching this talent pool in action.

• Reading Fightin Phils, a team that’s hard to beat with the best record in baseball! Root for the “Fightins” in the oldest ballpark in minor league baseball’s Eastern League. FirstEnergy is ranked as one of the top stadium experiences by Stadium Journey. If you go, we’d love to know if you agree.         

Where to stay, you ask?

The central location of B.F. Hiestand House Bed & Breakfast in relation to the stadiums makes it an easy choice for your accommodations during your visit. The difficult choice may be which games to attend! Click here for a map locating the four-team stadiums.
