PNC. Gorgeous backdrop, very underrated city, just about a guaranteed W.

Coors. Its nothing special, but its a neat location in the heart of downtown. Fans are pretty apathetic. I just saw video from a big fights there on opening day, so maybe it went downhill since i was there.

Ballpark at Arlington. Hot as ***** I just havent been to any other stadiums.

Yeah, the location is awesome. Lots of fun bars to drink at after the game. Ran into Tony Kemp and Max Stassi after a game in downtown Denver a few years back and hung out with them for a while. Really cool guys.

Anyone worried about stats 6 games into the season either doesn't have a clue about baseball or is a struggling "analysist" trying to pay their mortgage.

San Francisco was picture perfect and I saw Clemens get a win there. But the first game I went to was 43 degrees and the next afternoon it was 87 degrees, so points off for style.

Dodger Stadium fans were a lot of fun (granted in 2005), but got the worst sunburn of my life there, largely due to Jeff Kent not being able to put the ball in play with the bases loaded.

Anaheim was my first experience with Carls Jr, so top notch.

I've told the story too many times already but KC has a special place in my heart because I got to see Jeff Granger put in to start an inning in relief, walk a guy on 4 pitches, and get taken out.

I plan to hit PNC this summer and hopefully Camden Yards and Nationals Park another weekend as well.

I've only been to the following modern ballparks besides MMP:

Oracle Park - Parking is a pain in the butt, and it smells like garlic. Obviously the setting by the bay is great, and there are plenty attractions when walking around the stadium. Haven't been to Fenway or Wrigley yet, but I imagine it's comparable to those classic ballpark atmospheres. Just a beautiful stadium.

Citizens Bank Park - Great views all over the stadium no matter where you're sitting coupled with the fun atmosphere the Philly fanbase provides even if they're a little quick to boo their own players. Fortunately they weren't psychotic jerks like Eagles fans. A modern ballpark with some old school feel to it.

**Another thing I liked about "The Bank" in Philly, atleast where I was sitting, was the ushers not letting people walk down to their seats and obstruct others' views until the current at-bat was over.**

Besides the obvious ones being the Astrodome, Rangers Stadium and the Ballpark in Arlington, I also went to old Yankees Stadium and Shea Stadiuim including the last game played there in '05. Both stadiums in New York were dumps.

Couldn't agree more. We got rained out of multiple games before we finally got to see a game in old Yankee stadium. It was a crappy stadium with really cool museum like displays and history. Honestly, the only park I kinda felt disappointed in seeing. Hell, parts of the stadium in the outfield were completely non-accessible from the main stadium and didn't have regular concessions.

My niece just got accepted to Marquette so my brother and I are trying to hatch up some sort of mega weekend of Miller Park / Wrigley / Lambeau / Soldier Field at some point. I've been lucky enough to see 6 games at Wrigley in my life, but none with him, really hoping to get there.

not the best around, but Safeco (or whatever it is called now) is a great place to watch a game in the summertime if you catch it on the right day. We were there a handful of years ago in June and weather was perfect. Great beer and chowder also

Funny thing about Safeco...I recall when that was build when I was younger it was on a MLB video game and I legit thought it was called "Sa-fec-O" field. I still feel like that is a better name because who names their company Safe Co. but combines it...

the A's (4-3) roll into Tampa and take 3 of 4 from the Rays --- somewhat surprising

I really enjoyed Citizens Bank -- the Phillies' stadium -- too. It's one of the easiest stadiums to find, drive to, and park. Old school massive stadium parking lots (for dummies so to speak)..

on the flipside...it was a nightmare driving from Oakland to the Giants' stadium for a night game. Parking is difficult too

Stopped by the team shop this afternoon. No city connect polos at all. In fact, the only men sizes for any non-jersey city connect item I found were smalls and 4XLs. Was somewhat disappointed they haven't restocked the t-shirts or the athletic/workout shirts.

That said, the details of the hat are fantastic. It's also a lighter shade of blue than their standard hat:

Honestly just feel bad for the infielders there. Looks like the wind was brutal.

Reminds me of a football spring game I worked last week where they had their offensive lineman try to field punts at halftime for entertainment.

Knowing Chandler, he probably already mentioned this and he is pointing it out on Twitter to be a dick.

Late to the discussion of ballparks, but I've gotta say that Great American Ballpark is one of my favorites. Obviously, the Reds haven't been worth a damn in a while, but it's a great place to watch a game and the area around it right there in the river.

47? I guess that's his US age after converting from Dominican?

Looks like the episode of Malcolm in the Middle when Hal starts power walking.

Taking the kids on a surprise Disney trip this weekend, assuming you guys can handle the Mariners without me.

1. YES
2. SN
3. NBC
4. Bally Sports
5. Mets

I really don't like AT&T Sportsnet's scorebug. It's pretty bad in my opinion. Things I like to see in scorebugs:

Logos
Pitcher name and pitch count
Batter name and pitch count
Simplicity
