Which Park would you want to play at

Which park? Mine would probably be Orioles Stadium. Its such a nice field plus I've seen about 5 or 6 games there and I love it. Such a nice mound, I would love to play there, Miguel Tejada sure does

How about you

I would want to play at SBC Park. To be right on the ocean with that nice cool coastal breeze on a day game and the fans in San Francisco are very loyal to thier team.

Dodger Stadium of course. Best playing field in the league, even the players rated it no. 1 in a league-wide SI poll.

Ebbets Field.

Camden Yards would probably be second as long as it didn't mean putting up with Angelos.

It's hard to complain about Angelos when you're in first place.

I would want to play at Wrigley Field, even only if it was for one game.

Yeh, and even if I weren't biased it would be refreshing to see someone other than the Braves there.

I'd play at any of them just to be able to say I was a major leaguer But of the 20 or so MLB parks I've been to, old Tiger Stadium remains my favorite, so I'll pick that one.

Wrigley Field would be number one, because....well....it's Wrigley!!!!. Yankee Stadium number 2, because of the history involved.

Wrigley is so scary, with the Ivy, than the brick, and that net that catches homeruns, some lefty was pitching today, his first major league appearance, and two balls that would've been caught were both off the wall, and Burnitz found another ball in that Ivy in right, But, it is a nice field

Miller Park is nice too, home of the Brewers

Well , my dream of course would be to play a game at Yankee stadium. But , I would want to pitch in a major league game , so pitching in Detroit with that deep center field wall would help me.

I'd want to play LF in Fenway. That would be fun with the huge wall right behind you. And to know that I was playing where Ted Williams used to play is pretty cool too.

Today, I would Fenway and Wrigley, not neccesarily in that order.

If I could go back in time, Crosley Field (have to play in the outfield to climb those banks) or Forbes Field.

thats right. i know i know it sounds insane, but if you ever seen pics of it, or played it in a video game like mvp 05, its lots of fun. plus alot of history like the over the sholder catch by mays, or the shot heard around the world.
