Swing into the World Series with Google Expeditions

Hey batter, batter, batter! It’s late October, and the World Series is shaping up for an amazing finish. Step up to the plate with five new Google Expeditions that we created in partnership with MLB.com.

These include virtual tours of Citi Field in New York and Oriole Park at Camden Yards in Baltimore, both of which are narrated by MLB Network’s Heidi Watney. You can also get behind-the-scenes access with career tours that showcase the lives of a baseball beat reporter and television broadcasters. We’re also bringing you a Statcast tour, so you can geek out Moneyball-style with the math and physics behind the game.

If you’re an educator, we’ve got all the bases covered. We worked with teachers to provide accompanying free lessons plans to go along with these tours. “MLB Statcast Exploration” and “Journalism, The Appeals, and MLB” can both be found at TES.com.

Check out these MLB tours and our catalogue of over 700 unique experiences on your own or in the classroom by downloading Expeditions on your iOS or Android devices.
