Every time I have been at the spot in these photos I have been blitzed and happy.

You know the chain link fence above the ivy in the outfield? Yeah. I got to watch a lot of the game lying down in there. Lenny Dykstra still wants to kill me. Don't ask.

Do you that every time Andre Dawson hits one over the fence at Wrigley Field, he hits it over a TruLink fence?

So you're saying that you A: fell into the basket, and then spent a considerable amount of time sitting there? And security didn't come pull you out?

That couldn't have been very comfortable.

I almost forgot, the Field of Dreams. It's kind of a proffessional ballpark. The ghosts in the movie were paid to play baseball their, right.

Do you do anything there other than go on the field and look around?

I haven't been there since I was a little kid, but thats pretty much all you do. There's a concession stand where you can get a soda or whatever, along with the requisite souvenier shop.

For some real excitement, you could fall off the bleachers while you're eating a hot dog....

There is a gift shop. I bought a mini baseball bat and a full size bat. They are Louisville slugger and they say field of dreams on them.

Oh, you silly Cubs fans. Your stadium is a dump and is in desperate need of renovation, yet you cling to it's 'history' as an excuse.:no: Once stuff starts falling on people's heads (a la the Towers), maybe you'll admit it.

I gotta go with Fenway Park and Wrigley Field. My god, Babe Ruth and practically every other baseball legend has played in both of them.

In my opinion, Old Yankee Stadium is #1, and it's not even close. New Yankee Stadium will never touch it, and chances are no stadium ever touches it.

I think most of the stadiums in the MLB are really great now. I have not been to too many of them, but they are surely much better than the crap stadiums we used to have like the dual sport stadiums of Cincy, Pitt, San Diego, San Fran, etc.

I think the Giants stadium in San Fran is the best stadium in the bigs. But like I said, I think most of them are great now. I think the only really crappy stadium in the MLB is Dolphin Stadium.

Actually that happened a few years ago, but still it remains.
