	Baseball parks - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Major League Baseball's official rules simply state that fields built after 1958 must have a minimum distance of 325 feet from home plate to the fences in left and right field and 400 feet to center.
		Because of this, there are all sorts of variations in parks, from different lengths to the fences to uneven playing surfaces to massive amounts of foul territory to quirks such as trains in the outfield.
		Finally, it is the only park in major league baseball with a flagpole in play, a feature borrowed from the old Tiger Stadium in Detroit.

	Major League Baseball Parks
		Known as the cleanest park in the majors, Dodger Stadium is repainted every off-season.
		Unlike any other park in the majors, the infield at the BOB has a path of dirt between home plate and the pitchers mound.
		Located on the shores of the Allegheny River with the Pittsburgh skyline as a backdrop, the park officially opened with the Pirates' 8-2 loss to Cincinnati on April 9, 2001.

	The Significance of Fenway Park
		Parks of this era were notable for their convenient urban locations, a desire to place seats as close to the playing field as possible, classical architectural detail, and larger (for their day) capacities.
		One of the unusual aspects of Fenway Park is the degree to which it retains the "feel" of the original baseball park.
		Many baseball teams are looking to replace their symmetrical, Astroturf-covered, multipurpose "mega-stadiums" built in the 1960s and 1970s (such as Pittsburgh's Three Rivers Stadium and Seattle's Kingdome) with "retro-style," single-use baseball parks that emulate the irregular field configuration and wall heights, urban setting, and overall intimacy of Fenway Park.

		Baseball is indeed a mirror of American life, and Ward and Burns show how well America's story is told through baseball.
		In the case of "Baseball," the unrelenting focus is on New York City, Babe Ruth and Jackie Robinson, and to be fair, there is no way you could discuss the subject of baseball without devoting a great deal of time to these subjects.
		In any case, "Baseball" is very entertaining, and that is what largely accounts for my 4-star rating I would only caution those who don't know their baseball history that this documentary omits a great deal of what is a very good story.

	All-American Girls Professional Baseball League History
		The fear that this pattern would continue and that Major League Baseball Parks across the country were in danger of collapse is what prompted Philip K. Wrigley, the chewing-gum mogul who had inherited the Chicago Cubs major league baseball franchise from his father, to search for a possible solution to this dilemma.
		Wrigley originally envisioned that major league baseball parks could profit from having the women play on the dates the teams were scheduled to be on the road.
		National League officials, the press and baseball fans across the country were amazed at how well the women played ball and by the enthusiasm and support the teams received in the host cities.

	Old-style ballparks
		Some of the baseball facilities built in the past several years, such as Coors Field in Denver and Pacific Bell Park in San Francisco, front on city streets and are situated within an easy walk of apartments, restaurants, public transportation, and other amenities.
		The primary inhabitants of the area near the park, one third of whom own their residences, are single men and married couples without children.
		The biggest limitation on the trend is that many major-league baseball tams already have relatively new ballparks and that, according to Bess, “more than 100 minor-league stadiums have been built in the last 15 years.” Slowing demand for new ballparks may put a crimp on mixed-use urban development for a while.

		Unfortunately the host, Michelle Beadle, is basically just a pretty face and has a limited knowledge of baseball so can't get much out of the interviews she conducts with team personnel and players.

		Baseball’s regular season, in contrast, has over ten times as many regular season games, so even middle-of-the pack ball clubs can average more than 2.3 million paying customers per year.
		The practical difference a football stadium or a baseball park, then, is the difference between a gigantic sports palace and a significantly more modest facility.
		Baseball's got a very, very strong hold on most of us, and that goes back to the primordial soup of the American sports space.

	Baseball Clubs & Parks in Mendocino, CA
		When a baseball or softball team uses a baseball park or a baseball club’s facilities, there is usually an improvement and maintenance fee charged by the baseball club to cover their costs.
		Occasionally, a baseball club will host a baseball clinic at the baseball park.

		The photo to the left was taken during the park's last season in 1970.
		Previously called Shibe Park, it was the home of Connie Mack's Athletics from 1909 through 1954, and the Phillies called it home from 1938 through 1970.
		Yes, I know the 80-year-old park needed to be replaced, but the new stadium is so sterile, so uninviting, so football-like that many are already talking about the need for Comiskey III even before "Comiskey II" is a decade old.

		Inside the great expanse of a ballgame is the essential core of what Roger Kahn, one of the national pastime's most esteemed chroniclers, calls "chess at 90 miles per hour." That core, of course, is the duel between pitcher and hitter.
		In Baseball's Great Experiment: Jackie Robinson and His Legacy and the follow-up Jackie Robinson Reader, Jules Tygiel focused his historian's eye on what was arguably baseball's most stunning single event.
		St. Louis has a rich baseball tradition, most recently embodied in the slugging exploits of Mark McGwire, but the tradition stretches back to the late 1800s and includes both the National League Cardinals and the American League Browns (who moved to Baltimore and became the Orioles in the 1950s)....

	Baseball Digest: U.S. Stamps Honoring Old Major League Parks Arouse Fond Memories
		These stamps depict six parks no longer in existence including the Polo Grounds in New York, Ebbets Field in Brooklyn, Shibe Park in Philadelphia, Forbes Field in Pittsburgh, Crosley Field in Cincinnati, and the original Comiskey Park in Chicago as well as Detroit's Tiger Stadium, which remains empty but has not been razed as yet.
		Old versions of arenas still in use--such as Yankee Stadium, Fenway Park and Wrigley Field--are also featured on three other stamps, while Sportsman's Park, which once had joint occupants in the St. Louis Cardinals and Browns, is displayed on the stamps' cover folder.
		In looking at copies of the stamps, I found myself thinking of the times I spent covering games at these parks, punching out typewritten stories in quaint press boxes, watching on-field dramas unfold, and talking with the players before and after their battles were won or lost.
