smc,

You are right about that! I have many memories of that place too. Never been to Comerica Park--it looks nice on TV--just no "history" or "atmosphere." Not sure but I think the same company built Fenway, Yankee Stadium, and Tiger Stadium. There was a move to save it but it finally fell last year.

My take is that Damon's a big question mark. They did something similar with Sheffield a couple of years ago. Does this mean in a few years A-Rod will be a Tiger? We will see how they do.

Fun to be back "home" but always sad to see what has become of the city. Unemployment is very high here. Guess I can't complain too much about Indy...

The worse thing about Indianapolis (other than being in Indiana ) must be the knowledge that there probably will never be a major league baseball team there, no matter how big the city gets.

Sadly that's true. We have the "Indians." I honestly do not know who they are the farm team for. They play in a very nice (but small) stadium called "Victory Field." It's an inexpensive but fun outing or date.

Most around here are Reds fans or Cubs fans. A few are for St. Louis. I even saw a "Red Sox" license plate holder coming home the other day. I still cling to my Tigers for better or for worse...

(Update: The Indians are the farm team for the Pittsburgh Pirates--just checked...)

If so, they are the perfect metaphor for the decline of the American farm.

The Pirates is a good name for that team since they rob their fans of any hope of post-season play.

The ownership for the Pirates makes Harold Ballard look like a money-spending fiend!

With all due respect, Jen, the only explanation for your opinion is the combination of being a Phillies fan and not having been to enough other ballparks. At least, if we're just talking ballparks and not our experience with our teams in a ballpark.

2]the Mets old park-a bad place to watch a game as the airlines loved flying overhead
3] the Braves park- it was alright
4] when i was in SO CAL i went to the Giants old ballpark and like the Braves it was ok
5]the Angels ballpark i had a good time there as the fans seemed to enjoy the game and not take things to seriously this was before there rally monkey

Come up to Boston, and I'll take you to Fenway. The tickets are on me. You'll have a new favorite park, if not a favorite team!

If I ever get a Passport(or the new enhanced driver's license), maybe I'll check out a game at Fenway(since you would be treating, of course).

Look at the Roger's Centre(formerly Skydome)! It looks like a freaking tomb! Ugly design. I would love it if they could make a nice outdoor ballpark, but I doubt they ever will.

Did it ever occur to you that the "tomb" design was deliberate, as a final resting place in September for the hopes of Blue Jays fans from earlier in the season?

Ouch! I think I would be offended by your comment if it wasn't so true!

Being able to see a Red Sox game...excellent.

Being able to see it with my friends...priceless.
