We prepared an article for USA TODAY that focused on the favorite memories of six men who know the place inside out. A beat writer. Its PA announcer. The team’s Hall Of Fame broadcaster. The nationally known blogger. Its longtime groundskeeper. And the team’s beloved former player/former General Manager/current TV color analyst.
Due to the space constraints of print media, we had to limit the recollections of each of these knowledgeable and interesting people in the published article. However, we received permission to post an unabridged version of the article here. It’s twice as long as the print version, which means a lot more memories from these fascinating folks!
So check out our full version of the article 26 Seasons of Memories at Globe Life Park and the accompanying Biggest Moments in Globe Life Park’s History.

There was quite a bit of hoopla surrounding the announcement of our BaseballParks.com Ballpark of the Year. For one thing, it was our 20th annual award. For another, the winning park is truly transcendent, arguably the greatest stadium ever built at the Minor League level.
Las Vegas Ballpark, one of the six new pro parks in 2019, won the honor. Every year, the announcement of the winning park is made in the pages of USA TODAY Sports Weekly. The text of this year’s article (along with a photo of each of the six new parks this year) can be found here. Our release providing details about why Las Vegas Ballpark was named the winning park is here. Enjoy!
