Ball Parks...

I'm busy with putting some finishing touches on my fantasy baseball work, so I wanted to write out a top-5 list of Ball Parks I want to go to most. I've only been to Tropicana Field in Tampa and Camden Yards in Baltimore so there is plenty left to choose from.

Honorable Mention: Kauffman Stadium; Kansas City

5.Comerica Park; Detroit

Comerica I've always considered the most aesthetically pleasing of all the recent parks. Combined with the amazing backdrop of downtown Detroit. This is of course paired with my desire to watch the Tigers play and a little bit of disappointment in my attempt to get tickets to the All-Star game when it was being played there.

4.Yankee Stadium; If you don't know where this you should be shot

If not just for the history, then the fact that you're in the Bronx (which is definetly not an every day occurance for this Floridian) and no doubt you will be watching an amazing collection of some of the best talent in the country. This is probably the least likely site for me to make it to since the new stadium opens next season.

3. Minute Maid Park; Houston

The wierdest ballpark by far, I enjoyed the all-star game there and can't help but marvel a that stupid hill in center field. And why is that flag pole in fair territory? Could somebody also explain the train or anything else about left field? Why are there holes in that wall????

2.Fenway Park; I could probably tell you this one's address

The only park in competition for stranger left field. I would absolutely love just to go there and poke around. It's also one of the smallest parks and draws more than capacity every year (how?) so it has got to be electric. I can imagine being there for a Yanks-Sawks game and enjoying every moment of A-Rod hazing... It would just be beautiful...

1. PNC Park; Pittsburgh

I would love nothing better to run around in Pittsburgh for a few days, the people there have the least pretensiousness of any big league city. The park is amazing, the river running in the background, the fairy tale bridge and probably one of the worst teams in the country. That's okay, I would love to watch a blowout and jeer every Penguins and Steelers jersey I see ('Even you guys can't support this crap, ha!)
