Doh...that's like playing 1812 Overture at the Westminster
Last night was pups in the parks, with post-game fireworks. Not a good combination.

I'm glad to have seen a few games at Candlestick when I was a kid.


Chavez Ravine wasn't terrible but I think Wrigley and Fenway are definitely one and dones. It's like going to Mardi Gras, you are happy to say you went but you aren't begging to go back.


Camden Yards was not terrible because when I lived (and almost died) in the area, tickets were cheap.


Nats park will forever be my favorite park because that's where I first fell in love with baseball, that's where I met some of you all and that's where I got to go to my first World Series game. Nat's Park instilled a love for the Nats like when my Dad's grandpa used to take him to Cub's games because he worked nights and Wrigley didn't have lights.


There are intrinsic and nuanced things that people hold dear that drive them to a specific opinions. Whatever your favorite park is and whichever park makes you smile as soon as you queue up in line, that's the best ballpark in America. Everything else is a bunch of snooty ass blow hards trying to justify their existence as a "sports journalist".
