I think it has to be major league baseball stadiums. Tried checking into our local minor league stadium and it didn't unlock, checked into Fenway and it worked.
Yeah. Local doesn't work. The unlock instructions are pretty solid...just have to be weary of that "within a month" loop hole they like to throw in there.
After testing it myself and from the feedback from others i have come to the conclusion that as long as the main venue category is Baseball Stadium that the badge will unlock. So if you have venues with the main category of Baseball Stadium locally then you should be able to unlock it.
The badge unlock caption pretty much sums up how to unlock it:
"3 big-league stadium check-ins from 1 baseball fan who happens to have 2 thumbs? By our count, you're only a 4-bagger short of the foursquare cycle! We tried putting the badge in the Cracker Jack box. Didn't fit."
I'm very disappointed that this badge is NOT available in S.Korea and Japan which have enthusiastic baseball fans and great national pro-baseball leagues. Even Jumpers who have not their own league earned this one. What a disgrace for true baseball lovers.
I've checked into Wrigley Field the last three days. It's listed as a Baseball Stadium and I didn't get the badge. Kind of upset because I go back home tommorow.
i've check-in locally at 2 venues.. and the third one at a major league baseball stadium and unlocked it.. maybe it doesnt have to be all major... 1 major would qualify enough..
OK why isn't it working for me? I've checked my history and I've done these four venues with no badge! Does it really matter if they're American or National MLB???
