I've seen it speculated that, were it not for the two parks that he played most of his home games in - the cavernous Polo Grounds, and windy, often homer killing Candlestick Park - Willie Mays might well have caught Babe Ruth before Hank Aaron.

Now, you could probably get some inside the park homers in a park like the Polo Grounds.

I do remember seeing one such in the Giants current park - a drive into 'Triples Alley' in right center that took a nasty bounce off the wall and managed to elude both the right and center fielders.

What about the sips old ball park that had the cliff in the outfield?

Thanks for the reminder - I'd forgotten all about that. Hard to believe they played in this park until '74 (which I hate to admit was a long time ago, even if I was alive then). I'm all for unique aspects of baseball parks, but this is a bit extreme.

So UTrans got rid of a cool stadium for a crappy Disch Falk?

Interesting. I like the old one

What about the El Paso stadium or Isotope stadium in ABQ? Is that still in use? Don't forget Briggs Field in Detroit. The upper deck in RF stuck out about 5' over the warning track. They served good brauts though.
