Jay Ahuja has this thing for the field of dreams.  Not the movie, but 35 different "fields of dreams."

Jay, who works in the underwriting sales department for WFAE
90.7FM, has traveled to at least one major league ballgame every year since
1991.  So far, he's seen 35 ballparks, including several that are no longer in use.

When he first set out to see a few games in the Northeast, he was
surprised to learn that nobody had published a handy guide to major league
cities and ballparks. Upon seeing every park in use, he wrote his
first book, a travel guide titled, "Fields of Dreams: A Guide to Visiting
and Enjoying All 30 Major League Ballparks.”  Fields of Dreams is now in its
second printing.

"I'm somewhat of a traditionalist,” Jay says. “So my favorites are Fenway Park and
Wrigley Field (homes of the Boston Red Sox and Chicago Cubs, respectively),

but the best part of the entire experience has been seeing so
many interesting cities and catching up with old friends along the way."
This year, Jay and a handful of his WFAE co-workers are heading down to
Atlanta for a three game series against the Red Sox.

Jay enjoyed his baseball travel experience so much that he branched out
into NASCAR and visited all 23 race tracks across the country.  In 2002, he
wrote his second book, "Speed Dreams: A Guide to America's 23 NASCAR
Tracks."  Published by Kensington Books, New York City, both books have
done quite well and are available at national bookstore chains, independent
stores and online through Amazon.

Jay is still a huge baseball fan, but there are a few new ballparks he
hasn't made it to yet.  He and his wife have also become avid race fans.
Jay notes, "I've been fortunate to work in media sales most of my life, so
the harder I work, the easier it is to take a little time off to see a
ballgame or a race.  That my wife is glad to come along and have fun in a
’big league’ town is really all I can ask for."

In addition to his books and day job at WFAE, Jay travels extensively and
writes freelance stories for a handful of local and regional magazines.
