OT: How many MLB parks have you visited?

[Waquoit]

If you're going to a baseball park for the food there's something wrong with you.

But even the worst dog tastes good to me at the ballpark.

 

[GemParty]

Wow, that's an amazing list. How was Polo Grounds? Do you think Babe Ruth really hit a home run to dead center?

What did you think of the road trip podcast? I wish I had a full Summer off to try.

 

[HooperScooper]

For a big sports fan I haven't been to many.

Fenway Park (a lot)
Old Yankee Stadium
New Yankee Stadium
Shea Stadium (30 years ago)
Citizens Bank Park
Nationals Park
Wrigley Field
Tiger Stadium, old one in 1990
Oracle Park (just went this past summer so it was already Oracle Park)
Tropicana Field - Does it count? Never saw a baseball game there, just the 1999 Final Four.

That's it. I need to travel more.

Great list. You don’t have the podcast beat but that’s a nice group. I think I’d like to personally visit a couple a year so we have 30 by college. What was your favorite?

Pretty awesome listen, I can’t think of a much better way to spend the summer than road tripping and watching a ton of baseball. Pretty cool guest, thanks for posting.

Thank you for listening to the Sliders & Curveballs podcast. This particular MLB park episode was a lot of fun to record. It’s not every day a 7 yr old gets to learn about this type of road trip.

Do we have a consensus on what’s the best or top 3? I’m getting the sense from Muneesh’s pod descriptions of his 30 parks in 95 days trip that it’s something like-

Best- Camden
Tops - PNC, Wrigley, SanFran, Boston ?

Old Yankee
New Yankee
Shea
Citi
Citizens Bank
Fenway
Camden
Nationals Park
Coors Field
PNC Park
Oracle Park (SFG)

PNC and Coors are my two favorites. There's not a better walk to the park than in Pittsburgh and Coors has a great feel to it.

I loved coors. Great concourse area to eat and watch a game. And rock like tickets were like 4 bucks at the time (2015).

 

[Husky25]

I forgot to mention "Field of Dreams" in Dyersville, Iowa, but it's not a bonafide professional "stadium." It was built specifically for the Black Sox, but they weren't there that day.

 

[BuffaloHusky]

I'm going to show some age.

Old Yankee
Shea
Fenway
Wrigley
Oakland Alameda Coliseum
Candlestick
Dodger
Camden Yards
Old Baltimore Memorial
Kingdome
Safeco

Of these... I really like Safeco.

 

[cohenzone]

Not many. Old Yankee Stadoum (the most)
New Yankee Stadium
Fenway
The old Polo Grounds (saw both the N.Y. Giants and the Mets)
Shea where I saw a no hitter against the nets
Camden Yards.

Does the parking lot at Dodger Stadium count?

 

[storrsroars]

Shea where I saw a no hitter against the nets

I remember Bob Moose striking out Bill Melchionni for the final out.

 

[AllAbout5]

1. Fenway
2. Yankee
3. AT&T (now Oracle)
4. Dodger
I think that’s it

My favorite episode since the initial charm of Joseph. Great pairing of guest & child, with you ably moving things along. At 73 minutes, it outlasted my walk.

The props he gave St. Louis are warranted. I was able to walk from my Airbnb in a too-far-to-walk neighborhood, buy a beer (really, anything), and get a ticket for a shuttle bus to and from the downtown stadium. There are many shuttles like this, even from places in the surrounding towns that are part of the larger metro St. Louis. Then I bought a cheap bleacher seat, because there are gathering areas - mostly stand-up (bars and food) but at least one sit down for families (Including nursing mothers) - sprinkled around the park. I think I experienced 6 different vantage points, including just going to upper decks where there were unfilled seats (but then a nearby bar too). Red jerseys were everywhere, with lots of historic names. A real sense of fandom. Places to go after the game, or find your shuttle and go back to the neighborhood bar.

19........the first was Ebbets Field in 1951. I was lucky enough to sit in the dugout at Ebbets before a game in 1957, and to visit with Ted Williams in the locker room in Fenway in 1954.

 

[KingOPancakes]

Muneesh is a cool dude. He's been on the Never Not Funny podcast a few times talking about his 30 stadium tour. I'll have to give this a listen. As for me, I've really just hit the classics:
Old Yankee
New Yankee
Camden Yards
Fenway
Wrigley

Thank you for the kind words Hans. You’ve been a fan from day 1. Six months ago we were in my recroom with echos, now we have long distance guests in a studio. Plus, Joe just got braces but he’s gaining confidence in himself on every monthly episode. It’s been fun. Who wouldn’t want to replay a few conversations with their Dad from years past?

I appreciate all our new listeners. We’re amateurs. We’re just fans. Father & son.
