#14 — JULY 11: SALEM RED SOX

We headed through Bristol, where one side of the street is Tennessee and the other side is Virginia. Quite a sight to see opposing state flags lining the buildings on this main stretch of highway. As we continued to Salem, VA, a suburb of Roanoke, we saw our most beautiful stadium in terms of natural scenery: Haley Toyota Field at Salem Ballpark. Every seat in the park had incredible views of rolling mountains as you looked out past the outfield wall. To my personal liking, this stadium paid homage to great players that have passed through Salem on the way to Major League stardom. One of the most notable names depicted is Mookie Betts, the 2018 American League MVP who led the Boston Red Sox to the World Series Championship.
