Just as they do prior to boxing matches, the two fighters get weighed and measured. On the eve of the World Series, we have weighed and measured the two ballparks in the 2022 Fall Classic, and the result is our annual Tale of the Tape feature.
This year’s contestants are Minute Maid Park in Houston and Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia. May the better park win!!
Here’s our look at brand-new Flathead Field, home of the expansion Glacier Range Riders of the indy Pioneer League. Not only is it a miracle that this site went from a treed hilltop to a special ballpark in just nine months (which included a frigid Montana winter), it’s in inarguably one of the most beautiful areas of the United States. Check out our review with 25 photos you won’t find anywhere else!
Check out our look at the organization called FansAlign. It seeks to unite fans of the National Pastime so the wishes of the ticket-buying public won’t be taken for granted by owners and players any longer.
Each year, we provide a summary of the biggest ballpark news … and 2021 had far more than your average year! See what our camera had to show, because it was at all the noteworthy ballpark-related events in 2021!
Here’s our annual comparison of the two ballparks facing off in the Fall Classic! Click here
In preparing to write this year’s comparison of the two World Series parks, I thought through my ranking of the 30 Major League ballparks. I incorporated the Rangers’ new $1.2-billion air-conditioned palace, and moved a couple of others up and down. The #1 didn’t change (PNC Park) and the #30 didn’t change (RingCentral Coliseum, pictured), but there was a fair amount of jockeying in between.
Check out the updated ranking, and then post a comment telling me that I don’t know what I’m talking about!
