Cleveland's AA farm team plays in Akron, a 45-minute drive from Cleveland, heading south on Interstate 77. The ballpark, in the heart of downtown, takes fans close to the action. An evening with the Aeros delivers pure baseball—perfect for anyone who needs a break from big-business professional sports. Plus, between-innings antics such as the dizzy-bat race keep kids entertained. 300 S. Main St., Akron. Toll-free 800-972-3767. http://www.akronaeros.com.
