I was born and raised in MO so like I said - not worth the drive IMO. Though maybe he/she is interested in that kind of stuff but if you want ruins, shrines and tranquility - I think you can find some much better spots elsewhere in the US. And maybe you could hit a festival but I hope the breeze is blowing just right so you don't pass out from the smell of downtown, south side factories and the Miss. But on baseball - I can see going around to different teams and stadiums especially if they are on the way to another destination.
