Sports fan allegiances aside…which city would you visit first, given the chance?  Let's try to be nice here, no bashing or mudslinging from the die hard fans if you can help it — just some good clean World Series Travel Fun!

Houston has the Space Center, the Battlefield and the best tourist attraction.

Chicago has the Sears Tower Sky Deck, the Lake and the best landmark that no one visits.

Personally, I'd pick Houston to visit, only because I've never been there before, and I prefer the warmer climates. But if I was going to visit during this series, I think I'd pick Chi-Town over H-Town, because I'm pulling for the Sox. And I've got to guess that Chicago has more attractions and cultural institutions to choose from, it does have a larger metro area. Where would you go?

Here is a "Best Of" list for each city and some good blogs to monitor to keep up with all the baseball action and the daily scoop on each city:
