That’s a legit list too! I love that Tony Gwynn Day fact. I’ve only been around Petco, never to a game - can’t wait to do so! Thanks for reading/sharing!

Great article! That's crazy that Dodgers Stadium ranks so high for home runs!!!! I had no idea.

Very impressive list of active ballparks you've been to, my friend! Ok, let me give it a shot (I will likely say the wrong name for some parks)!

1. Fenway Park

2. Wrigley Field

3. U.S. Cellular Field

4. Petco Park

5. Dodgers Stadium

6. Yankee Stadium

7. Citi Field

8. Nationals Park

9. Camden Yards

10. Marlins Park

11. Tropicana Field

12. Citizens Bank Park

13. T-Mobile Park

You've got me by a long shot, my friend! Very nice!

My favorite all-time park was Petco Park in San Diego -- beautiful mix of history with the warehouse and new-age stadium feel. GREAT food (the best fish tacos!), amazing climate, wonderful outside-of-the-park amenities (like a whiffle-ball field for kids and massive jumbotron for families to watch the game sitting on the grass berm). Also, a legit cool Tony Gwynn statue.

Little known fact -- the second home game of the year is always considered Tony Gwynn Day at Petco Park because Gwynn always showed extra love for fans who showed up for Game #2.

You should do one on which INACTIVE ballparks you've been to, also! (Dude, you should make these separate posts altogether! Very cool!)
