Indeed pipps, Citi, Fenway, Camden Yards, Citizens Bank, and Dodgers Stadium should all be on my list! How many parks have you been to? Oh man, I went through that exercise a few years ago and can't remember the total. I didn't set out with a checklist or anything, they were all targets of opportunity. So many that were demolished long ago -- Shibe Park in Philly, Memorial Stadium in Baltimore, Forbes Field in Pittsburgh, Crosley Field in Cincinnati, Griffith Stadium in Washington, Tiger Stadium, County Stadium in Milwaukee, Comiskey in Chicago, old Busch in St. Louis, Candlestick in SF, the Kingdome, Jarry Park in Montreal, Exhibition Stadium in Toronto, of course old YS and Shea -- man, that's just the oldest ones and I'm boring myself before starting on newer places. However many it is, there are way more minor league stadiums. Lots of wasted time. I knew you'd been to many parks! You truly are amazing pipps! You'll have to rank them for us one day. |

I understand the reluctance to go to Citi -- even when we lived in New York I felt a bit unclean going over to Shea (which had become kind of a dump by then.) But you should check out Fenway just to understand the enemy a little better -- Baltimore and Philly have nice parks not too far from you. And when you visit your brother you definitely have to go to Dodger Stadium. It's a great place to watch a game. Or a fight in the stands. Indeed pipps, Citi, Fenway, Camden Yards, Citizens Bank, and Dodgers Stadium should all be on my list! How many parks have you been to? I've been to PNC a couple times. Very nice! |

However many it is, there are way more minor league stadiums. Lots of wasted time. Astrodome? Jack Murphy? Two of the worst parks ever. Yes to Jack Murphy -- I agree it sucked, especially surrounded by the beauty of San Diego. Never been to Houston -- mea culpa -- and never been to a baseball game in Dallas. Minor league games in El Paso, San Antonio and Amarillo is about it. Among the demolished old timers I forgot to mention Municipal Stadium in Cleveland -- that's another of the worst. The biggest regret I have is not seeing a game in the Polo Grounds when the Mets were there in 62-63. I saw the stadium many times -- right over the bridge from Yankee Stadium -- but I was dependent on adults for transportation then, and on the couple of times a year we got to NYC, I just wanted to see the Yankees. |

I'm been to Fenway, Yankee Stadiums 2 and 3, Atlanta-Fulton, Camden Yards, the Trop, Candlestick, Oracle (Giants), Dodger Stadium, PNC, Oakland Coliseum and Olympic Stadium. |

You've got me on Fulton County (I did get to Truist) and Oracle -- a gaping hole in my resume -- and the Trop I've been in for a tour but not a game. But you've got some great ones yourself Matt.
