OT: How many MLB parks have you visited?

[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.

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?

Shea where I saw a no hitter against the nets

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

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

I’ve read all of the amazing responses and thank you for listening to the podcast that kicked off the whole discussion.
Season 2 ep4 -Gas Up The Car.

Some of you travel a great deal.

Gas Up The Car by Sliders & Curveballs

Studio guest, Muneesh Jain, drove 17,000 miles in 95 days to see a game at all 30 MLB parks. Let’s revisit them together!

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 ?

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.

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.

I agree Pancakes. Munessh has an inspirational story. Baseball fanatic. Life can be awfully hard, he found peace at the ballpark. I’m glad. Enjoy the pod. Review us on Apple, if you have a few minutes, so others can find us too.

Pearl Jam has postponed 13 North American dates through April because of COVID-19. I will not be going to Busch Stadium...yet. Hopefully they reschedule during the season and when the Cards are home.
