Especially during the years they were the Pirates affiliate.
Each of those years, the Islanders would finish first or second in their division, while the Pirates were finishing dead last.

You touched on BB Wino that means I get to Rant

HE LOOKED LIKE AN ETHIOPIAN when he broke in with PBurgh now he looks like an african god. BOnds should be put in jail and the writers that exposed him for the farce he is should be rewarded. Pete Rose belong in Cooperstown Bonds Doesnt, MLB is sending the message that drugs are ok gambling isnt and thats wrong. I will touch on this more later

If it is that good why are they building a new one?

I live in NY but love Wrigley Field. When I went there I felt like I stepped back in time (and I liked it)

The new Yankme Stadium looks just like the current one from the exterior. I wish they would incorporate the facade into the new one

I remember when the old one was the new one because the old one was old. Phew my head hurts

[quote="txaggirl91"]there was nothing like watching a ballgame in the astrodome in the late 70s, early 80s before the rennovated it. quote]

I know what you mean. I went there and was amazed at a domed stadium. I loved the board and watching the "fireworks" when a home run was hit. Also the graphics when the opposing pitcher was sent away from the game. Used to love going next door to Astroland. Good memories. Thanks for reminding me!

I saw no Oakland fans..
I think of the Ball parks I have seen that Oakland is underrated.
the place is clean, the food is good, good tailgating,
but the dugouts are backward.

there is both a good size parking lot and a
public transit system and the temps rarely top 80.
really what more can we ask??

you can't top Yankee Stadium for richness of history, drama. It's got a giant bat outside the entrance for goodness sakes.

Telling the tourists it was Ruth's bat probably isn't kosher tho..

Hey, some of my Comerica Park photos are on that site! Still don't like the stadium, though.

Turner Field for 3 reasons
1- Braves rules

(just not this year)

2- They are only 2 hours away
3- It's the only field I have EVER been to

You've never heard of the legend of Ruth and his Big Blue Bat?

I've only been to Tiger Stadium, Co Merica Park, Jacobs Field and Marchant stadium (Tigers Winter Home in Lakeland Florida)

Loved them all! No such thing as a bad baseball stadium
