Which five ballparks should be the charter members of the baseball park Hall of Fame?Current ballparks are allowed as long as they are 40 years old or more. My five choices are Ebbets Field,The Polo Grounds, old Yankee Stadium(before the renovations), Tiger Stadium and Crosley Field.

Its more fun for me to include only demolished parks.
Well.....it sounded fun in theory
Shibe Park
Polo Grounds
LA Wrigley Field
Forbes Field
Crosley Field
Ebbets will get the votes anyway....so LA Wrigley is in.

I would definitely include Shibe Park and Forbes Field because of their importance in being the first modern (steel and concreete) ballparks built in the U.S..
So my charter members would be:
Shibe Park
Forbes Field
Wrigley Field
Fenway Park
Yankee StadiumComment
