Baseball
There’s something magical about baseball in the spring in Missouri. Catching a professional baseball game at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City or Busch Stadium in St. Louis is a must. For those who prefer playing the game to watching it– don’t worry. There are plenty of fields in plenty of towns to knock the ball around or play some catch.
