For just $219 a night, you can relax with the Grand Slam Baseball package at the Vinoy Renaissance St. Petersburg Resort and Golf Club.

The package includes a spectator survival kit and breakfast for two.
Cooperstown, New York, is a mecca for those who live and breathe baseball. It’s home to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and the historic Otesaga Resort Hotel, where the “Double Play” package includes breakfast, accommodations, tickets to the Hall of Fame and a baseball-themed souvenir, starting at $365 per night.
