Love how each ball park is unique. No other major sport has such variation between arenas and playing fields. Keeps things interesting and gives you a reason to check out other cities ball parks when on vacation.
The Western Metal SC building was historic to SD and the initial plans was to get rid of it but the architects decided to incorporate and build the stadium design from the building. They actually had to turn the stadium more northward because of it. I think it's a cool feature and it's interesting the impact the building had on the construction of Petco Park. My favorite stadium in MLB!
Something about the Western Metal bldg that is just so cool. It’s so reminiscent of an old vintage stadium from the 30’s or 40’s Great video, thanks for the tour !
Its really cool inside too. Its like a museum to San Diego baseball going back to the old PCL Padres in the 30's and Ted Williams. Originally they were going to tear down the building when petco was built, but they changed their mind at the last minute. They had to move the build from over a block away to incorporate it into the ball park. There are a lot of great things about petco Park, but the western metal building is one of the coolest.
Tal's Hill was always foolish, a *twee*, artificial attempt to recreate some of the real individuality and personality of the old parks. It was like someone who one day starts wearing a derby hat, with a, "Loot at me! I'm a character" attitude. Wiser heads prevailed and the Astros got rid of it, along with that ridiculous light pole on the playing field.
This is why Baseball is pretty much the only sport where home field advantage actually matters significantly. I always thought it was so awesome how every stadium has it's own unique quirk that can potentially make a drastic change to how hitters/fielders approach each game, with the home field team obviously having the advantage of knowing how to play the terrain. Wish other sports were like that
How about the Speakers/PA System of The Kingdom in Seattle, WA? Fly balls were IN PLAY after hitting them and could still be caught in the air for an out after deflecting off the speakers. If ball landed landed in foul ground after hitting a speaker, it was a foul ball.
This is pretty hilarious. I'm not really a baseball fan, but I like stadiums. Yes, it is interesting that every baseball field and stadium is different. Who would ever think that an athlete could hit a ball into a tank of rays and it not be a gimmick.lol
it is most definitely a gimmick, baseball is not afraid to be trendy, modern or even cringy. baseball will have people bouncing around on jetpacks out there like in futurama
@@moonjae-in12thpresidentofr20 The only rule is the fence must be at least 250 feet away from home plate, but there is no other restrictions and I think that is great. 👍
I’d honestly love to talk to someone who works at the trop and see if a homer has ever killed a stingray. Imagine the pr nightmare if they had to get of rid of the whole tank because they were just chucking stingrays in the dumpster lol
The stadium at 1:30 is not the Polo Grounds, it's old Tiger Stadium in Detroit. Tiger Stadium deserved to have it's own section, highlighting the overhang in right field. That being said, fun vid!
Speaking of the Tigers . . . the clip before this one, the Willie Mays catch. Finally I have seen the clip with the TV commentary. Usually the video is shown with the radio commentary, because the announcer goes nuts. The TV voice is Ernie Harwell, loooooong time Tigers voice. The call was typical Ernie, state the facts and let the crowd finish the story. He already then knew the difference between TV and radio.
its a Historical Landmark. it was part of the B&O RR terminal and was built 1899-1905. and it eather is or use to be the longest building on the east coast. (its about the lenght of an aircraft carrier).
I wish there was a way for us to go back in time, and have current teams play in old parks. How cool would it be to see someone like Kiermaier try to cover all of CF in the Polo Grounds for example
This was a neat video. I was never a big baseball fan, but I did stats for my high school. This is something I always enjoyed about baseball is how each place has its own set of rules dealing with the elements of the field. Our high school field was very ordinary and even for distances and shape of the park. So seeing these was really cool.
Not quite the same, but when the roof is open at Safeco, it covers a nearby train track. This makes the train horns much louder in the stadium as the sound reflects off the roof and into the park. Its pretty awesome if you're there for it live, and I know I've heard it at least once on a broadcast game.
This is one of the things that makes baseball great, not only are the buildings themselves more unique and interesting than any other sport. But the actual playing field can vary from place to place.
Thanks for supplying decent video of both the Polo Grounds and Ebbets Field. Another park with a pool where home runs could land over the right field fence was Le Parc Jarry in Montreal.
@@Leafshockeyftw Not worth it. The Coliseum is a dump and it'd be better to just tear the whole place down and build a newer, smaller park on the same grounds.
This areas are what make baseball so cool and unique, i'm from spain and I've recently discovered this sport and I love it in part this is because each play, homerun, stadium etc is different and that makes me want to watch and discover more
Two weird ballparks I remember: the poles in centerfield supporting the upper deck bleachers at the old Tiger Stadium. And the “garbage bag” outfield wall they used to have in Minnesota.
I do love these quirky ballparks. I'm not sure if there's any other sport other than tennis, golf, and racing where there can be such big differences between the playing fields.
The Western Metal Supply Co. is one of my favorite stadium features in sports. Edit: I can't wait till the A's get a new stadium and get out of that dump.
I love when stadiums have unique dimensions/wall heights/unique areas like Tal’s Hill. It’s a shame that every new stadium seems to be so similar to all the others. I’d kill to have the polo grounds back.
I'm born and raised in Long Beach 🌴 California, and born into a Dodgers family. Anyway I went to the opening day of San Diego versus Los Angeles Dodgers in 2013 and that is and was a moon 🌙 shot ⚾ by Hunter Renfoe! I've seen guys drill it upper deck, but when I saw that HR I was like damn what a shot. Being there even now with the Padres fences being brought in 15 feet a few years ago, and it is still a tough park. Definitely would be defined as a "pitchers park" whereas somewhere like Coors Field the ball flies out of the park. Baseball ⚾ is almost here!
This is what i've always loved about mlb is the quirky ballpark designs, the old Riverfront used to have this way of making a homerun ball bounce over the wall hit the second wall then curve back onto the field like a pingpong that was being slapped around.
Fenway was built around Ted Williams they put the bull pen where it is so hitting it out was closer or easier. I think they should rotate having the HR Derby at Fenway, PNC park, and Giants stadium maybe add Camden yards and Wringly. They got the best targets in my opinion.
@@wesleyantrim6648 no crap, but they put the bull pen where it is cause of him. Also outside Ortiz, Ruth and Yaz he was the best hitter there. Also people forget how much Fenway has changed. It got burned down, redone and added onto so much over the years.
Cincinnati's Crosley Field had an incline in left field. At one time, if a ball got stuck in the ivy at Wrigley Field, it was in play. It's now a ground rule double.
Petco (Padres stadium) also has the "Park in the Park" just beyond the right field stands. You can bring a picnic blanket or folding chairs, has access to bathrooms, a hot dog stand, and mini baseball field for the kids to play around on. Cost like $5 to get in. Great if you're in downtown for dinner and just want to catch a few innings for cheap.
Yes, if they stop and throw their hands up the play gets marked as dead and it becomes a ground rule double so the baserunners can only advance 2 bases at the most. If they try to go and get the ball then the play is still live and there's about a 90% chance the batter will get a triple or better. It's one of the few times giving up is actually the right play.
Interesting video. I'm pretty sure the old Yankee Stadium had a death valley of a left center field with monuments actually on the field. I was kid when my favorite team the Red Sox would play there but I seem to recall that.
hchomerun The lone red seat symbolizes the longest home run ever hit at Fenway. So it's not like it's some dumbass design with no real meaning it's a piece of history.
I would love to go see a San Francisco Giants home game because that is a very nice ballpark. My uncle was from San Fran, I wished he would invited me over to his house when I was in junior high. Unfortunately, he passed away in the 90's from AIDS. He was only 34 but he was a cool uncle. My dad flew out to San Francisco for his brothers funeral.
I remember in MLB The Show, I was playing at Oakland at home, I had a runner at first and third, the pitcher picked off but missed the first baseman’s glove and the runner scored and I walked it off 😂
Ug the white Sox announcers are the absolute worst.. I've literally heard them say no words for an entire play because the visiting team was doing well...
KOOLAID SQAUD GAMING Yankee stadium hall of fame was in play before 74 when the stadium was renovated the first time! Great videos around of Mantle running around plaques trying to track a ball down
Jarry Park Stadium in Montreal had a large public swimming pool beyond the right field fence. Homers that found their way into the pool usually got there by rolling in, but some made a splashdown. Pirates games would sell out (small stadium) because Willie Stargell had a knack for reaching the pool which informally got renamed "La piscine de Willie" (Willie's Pool in French), sometimes on the fly.
Love how each ball park is unique. No other major sport has such variation between arenas and playing fields. Keeps things interesting and gives you a reason to check out other cities ball parks when on vacation.
