Its funny because many baseball fans have dreams of being able to visit every active stadium in MLB, but I have yet to hear an NFL, NBA, or NHL fan say the same about that sport.

Thats what this all comes down to. They could all latch on with a lesser deal. Hell, Jermain Dye is the classic example. Turned down a $3 Million deal to be a 4th OF with the Cubs and hasnt been seen since.

Yeup that is one of the special attractions about baseball stadiums is that every stadium feels different enough due to having pretty relaxed rules on field and stadium design for most of baseball's history.

Fenway has the short right wall because of Ted Williams while one of the Phillies old stadiums once had a deep center due to the owner being a cheapass and unwilling to buy more balls for games. Rockies figured since they were unlikely to every land a great pitcher as a free agent, might as well built it in a way that benefits their batters the most.

The 'Stroes must have thought it was a great idea, too.....

But they forgot to not build a short porch in left, and how to build a roster.
