Great American Ballpark Lives in the Past

Great American Ballpark sure shows some great team spirit, there’s that. However, Cincy hasn’t been dominant since the Big Red Machine, whom was arguably one of the best teams in the history of baseball, so it makes sense that the stadium thrives on their memorabilia. Other than that, the concession stands are nothing special other than a few fantastic bars that serve locally brewed beers, and the rarity of serving wine. It’s a good looking stadium with the red seats and smokestacks, but it sure seems cramped in the heart of the city. For the old fashioned baseball fanatic with Continue reading Great American Ballpark Lives in the Past

Progressive Field an Absolute Must See

The Tribe have flown under the radar for all of baseball history for the most part as one of the best franchises, and still do, so it makes sense that their home, Progressive Field, is also underrated.

Nationals Park is right in the hart of the nation’s capital; just a few blocks from the capital building in fact. The ballpark is very unique in terms of size, as many of the new modernized venues are big stellar stadiums with lots to offer, but this one is different. One can tell right away, before even arriving at the main entrance, that it almost looks like the “castle for baseball” in this great nation.   Just like many other stadiums now, the concourse wraps around the whole field with multiple food options from hot dogs to salmon fish.

The first time one enters Oriole Park at Camden Yards, they have to go through the centerfield pavilion, as that is one of the greatest locations in the game today. Unlike any other major league stadium, the team’s retired numbers are presented as statues, along with the sculptures of legends: Brooks Robinson, Cal Ripken Jr, Eddie Murray, Earl Weaver, and Jim Palmer. As one walks past into the gates, a great view of the field is portrayed with large black iron gates being the gateway to the outfield seats.   One will notice right away that all the concession stands Continue reading Camden Yards: Overrated, but Still Historic
