As we close in on the end of the season for the Fields of Dreams at The World on Wheels, we enter the rarified air of the best of Major League Baseball stadiums. The last three are head and shoulders above the rest and feature outstanding wheelchair accessibility. This week, at the edge of Kansas City, we update Kauffman Stadium...home of the Royals.
Who has as many World Series Championships as the Yankees? Well, nobody, but the Cardinals come in second with 11. This week's Fields of Dreams update on The World on Wheels takes us to one of the best baseball cities in America, it's Busch Stadium in St. Louis.

With video and pictures, we also visit the state historical museum and find one heck of a good comfort food restaurant: http://tinyurl.com/37lhfcy
