An individual statistic is meaningful only if it is based strictly on what the player does and not on what the other players on his team do.
Contrary to what most baseball fans claim, a pitched ball which is hit into play is not a strike. -
1. US. Cellular Field...Obvious reasons
2. Fenway Park
3. Yankee Stadium II
4. Dodger Stadium
5. Wrigley Field"(Shoeless Joe Jackson's fall from grace is one of the real tragedies of baseball. I always thought he was more sinned against than sinning." -- Connie Mack
"I have the ultimate respect for Whitesox fans. They were as miserable as the Cubs and Redsox fans ever were but always had the good decency to keep it to themselves. And when they finally won the World Series, they celebrated without annoying every other fan in the country."--Jim Caple, ESPN (Jan. 12, 2011) -
Of the ones I have been to.... Comiskey Park was my favorite old park. Dodger Stadium/Angel Stadium/Royals Stadium were my favorites of the 1960-1980 era. Of the new ones, Yankee Stadium. Those would be my top 5.
Of stadiums I wish I was able to see but did not, Polo Grounds wins hands down. Ebbets Field would be 2nd, and I did not see that as a choice (unless I overlooked it)Comment

I think its funny what kept me from picking certain stadiums, I wanted to say Miller, but its just to big. I mean from the field to the top of the roof it looks like a mile. AT&T also would have made my list then I get mad that they have those left field seats the face the stands not the field based on their angle. Finally Coors would have made the but either because its a opcy clone (even though its the best of the clones and is a great fit in denver) or its the rock pile seats the turn me off. Sad huh?Last edited by Chevy114; 08-23-2012, 05:17 AM.The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time.Comment
