Destination Summer: Part Four
Watch Part Four.

If it's summer, that means baseball in this country. And around here, you've got more than the Yankees and the Mets. Crowd cheering The New Jersey Jackals are an independent Minor League Baseball team. It's fun American baseball here at Yogi Berra Stadium. And they play on the campus of Montclair State University in New Jersey, just 20 miles from Yankee Stadium, but a world away when it comes to bang for your buck. Tickets are as low as $12. Lastly, if you're looking for an uplifting experience this summer, you can't miss the annual QuickChek New Jersey Festival of Ballooning. I got a chance last year to float among the clouds, and there's nothing quite like it. It takes place in New Jersey's Hunterdon County, and it's the largest summertime hot-air-balloon and music festival in North America.
