Suggestions for a baseball trip?

I am planning a solo trip in March to catch a spring training game at WWoS. Other than the game, I’d like to add some other baseball-themed activities to my plan. Any suggestions?

So far I have:

Stay at All-Star Sports
Eat at Casey’s Corner
Eat at ESPN Club on the Boardwalk
Watch Disney baseball movies: Angels in the Outfield, The Rookie, Casey at the Bat
 
Assuming the Boardwalk still has midway carnival games, last time I was there, they had a baseball themed one.
 
Might want to try catching a game in Lakeland, it's about 30-40 min from Disney west on I-4. The Tigers play there.
 


You may be all over this, but just in case- the practice fields are open to guests back behind the main stadium at Wide World of Sports, and it's a lot of fun to wander around back there in the morning before the game (if you're really into baseball- if you're just a casual fan, it would probably be boring). Just follow along outside the stadium past the first base side turn left around the back/outfield side. You'll reach four fields that look almost like a youth baseball complex, and what's where all the morning workouts take place for major and minor league Braves players.
 
I'll be going to a baseball game or two myself down there in a couple weeks. I'll echo that if you have transportation, its nice to also catch a Tigers game in Lakeland. If you don't mind venturing a little further, the Phillies are in Clearwater, Yankees in Tampa, Blue Jays in Dunedin. Those are within 90 minutes and there's even more if you want to venture out just a little more.

Also keep in mind this is the last year for games at WWoS, unless they're able to draw in another team...
