The map that I have created for a map tour is about Baseball. When starting this project, I thought about only including Baseball Stadiums. I have enjoyed the game of Baseball since I was young. I did not realize that there is more information out there besides at a Major League Stadium. I did include some Major League Baseball Stadiums, but I included some other items about baseball in my tour as well. Making this map on ArcGIS Online was a lot of fun. The first thing for this map that we did was pick a topic of interest. Then we had to create an excel sheet for the latitude, longitude, name of team, an image and a URL link. We then brought the information from excel to ArcGIS Online and created points. We configured the popup window to just showing us the team name, the image of the team and the URL link.
For the Stadiums that I did included for my tour is Fenway Park home of the Boston Red Sox in Boston, Massachusetts, PNC Park home of the Pittsburgh Pirates in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Marlins Park home of the Miami Marlins in Miami, Florida, Commercia Park home of the Detroit Tigers in Detroit, Michigan and the final stadium that I chose is Global Life Park in Arlington home of the Texas Rangers in Arlington, Texas. For the non stadium areas that were chosen, I decided to go back where baseball started in the United States Cooperstown, NY. In Cooperstown, we have the American Wax Museum where people have created past and current Baseball Players completely out of wax. The final place on this map that I feel should be in this tour is the National Baseball Hall of Fame. This is an important piece of Baseball History because here is where all of the greatest baseball players throughout history are selected into the Hall of Fame.
