    Finishing off our Triple D themed Napa Valley (and Sonoma) trip on The World on Wheels. Today, we hit the drive-in and the dive while also doing a little wine tasting. We also find a gem that Mr. Fieri missed: http://tinyurl.com/ya38r26

    You ever wonder if Guy Fieri knows what he's talking about on Triple D? We put him to the test in his home town as The World on Wheels takes on Santa Rosa and the Napa Valley: http://tinyurl.com/y8rrskq

    At The World on Wheels today, in California's Central Valley, professional baseball has a long history. On today's brand new Fields of Dreams review, we profile a stadium and team that has been playing here for 65 years. It's the Diamondbacks single A team, the Rawhide, and Recreation Park in Visalia: http://tinyurl.com/4xqxbk8

    On the banks of the mighty Sacramento, Raley Field is home to Oakland's AAA team, the Rivercats. Very nice stadium with great amenities, we call it this week's Field of Dreams at The World on Wheels: http://tinyurl.com/22k2zld

    It's All Star day. We wrap up Baseball Week's travel reports on The World on Wheels today with this trip to Philadelphia to take in a Phillie's game. Along the way, we also visit the city's historic sites and eat some cheesesteak: http://http://tinyurl.com/y7cguwd
