March 18, 2011 - PRLog -- CHICAGO –Sports Traveler, a Chicago based sports tourism company (www.sportstraveler.net), is offering baseball fans in Chicago a chance to stand on the field to watch their favorite Cubs players take batting practice at historic Wrigley Field as part of a special Cubs Batting Practice Experience during the Cubs series versus the New York Yankees, June 17-19, 2011.

This exclusive opportunity is part of a series of Sports Traveler Experiences meant to take fans ‘beyond the game.’ The Cubs Batting Practice Experience includes 30-45 minutes of on-field access at Wrigley Field during batting practice prior to the start of the game, plus reserved seating to see the Cubs play the New York Yankees, and the choice between a Cubs or Yankees gift bag. Inside the gift bag fans will find authentic Wrigley Field or Yankee Stadium dirt, freeze-dried grass from one of the historic ballparks, and a game-used ball from the game they attend, complete with a display case.

Sports Traveler President Anbritt Stengele says fans shouldn’t wait too long before making their reservations, “This is one of our most popular Sports Traveler Experiences. The opportunity to stand on Wrigley Field and then watch this historic game between the Cubs and Yankees is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.”

The Cubs weekend home series with the New York Yankees will take place June 17th, 18th and 19th, and these are the only dates available for this sports fan dream experience. Fans traveling from out of town can take advantage of Sports Traveler’s full service travel desk to help them make their travel arrangements including reserving airfare and booking hotel packages in Chicago.
