They also have like the third-worst record in 1-run games in MLB history, and a similarly-historically low batting average with RISP. Plus they gave 100 year-old Rich Hill meaningful starts down the stretch

And they were 0-??? in extra innings lol. I think like 0-14 maybe? Lol

Definitely some bad luck involved. They hit tons of hard balls right at people. I mean almost a comical amount. I probably saw 130 games or so but also they obviously don’t have an overall good team approach at the plate. Whether it’s to be patient or be aggressive. Whatever. They always just seemed to be up there hacking. Not looking to take a walk or move someone over etc. I don’t know. Something is just off. Be it corching or chemistry or whatever.

  1. PNC (undefeated world champ)
  2. Wrigley (never had a bad experience there)
  3. Camden Yards (gorgeous)
  4. Old Yankee Stadium (nostalgia, basically. was always filthy but you could feel the history)
  5. Fenway (went once, was cool but a miserable fan experience)
  6. Milwaukee (see below)
  7. Target (FUN)
  8. Kansas City (nice but too damn hot)
  9. Ballpark at Arlington (also nice but hotter than the surface of the sun)
  10. Three Rivers (total dump but great memories of going to games with high school buddies)
  11. Shea Stadium (no redeeming qualities whatsoever. nuke from orbit)


@Skeeter The shitty beer selection in Milwaukee made me so mad. I get it, Miller Park, so like 99% MIller products. But still. An absolute crime considering the beer culture in that town.

Why miserable fan experience for Fenway? Other than the seats being for 1920s sized humans, I've always had a good time. Concessions and beer are usually reasonably fast, bathrooms reasonably clear, good views from nearly anywhere in the concourse.

It was expensive as hell, for whatever reason it felt like I spent half the game in line for concessions, and while the seats are perfect for 1920's-humans & me they were not perfect for the land whale from Framingham who was spilling into my seat. I'm sure it would be better on another night, but when you've travelled & spent that much money a sub-par experience kind of sticks out in your mind.

That's fair, it's BAWSTON so it's always gonna be way too expensive. I think they went card only concessions 2 years ago, so if you went before that you were probably stuck behind BOOMERS counting their change. I've never had an issue recently, most I've had to wait is maybe 5 minutes.

I generally sit in my actual seat for like 2 innings and then just roam for the rest of the game.

2014. I'd definitely go again if we make it out that way.

I forgot a few:

Veterans Stadium, Philly (FUN, as a middle-schooler. Also a dump. Distinct memory of seeing guys in the 700-level betting on whether the umps toss at the end of an inning would stay on the mound or roll off)

Jacobs Field, Cleveland (Unremarkable. Not sure what it's even called now)

SkyDome (meh, but saw Clemens pitch.)

Just an abysmal experience. I did have the kids in tow - but from poor stadium direction to generally not nice people to us - ruined the experience.

Honestly, really good jerb by A-Rod and the other guy on the home run call to shut up and let the crowd capture the moment
