[edit] Amatuerish

This article struck me as really a bit odd and amateurish. It doesn't read well and it just kind of jumps into the topic midstream without anything approaching a proper introduction or context. Also, it's specifically about major league parks, not baseball parks in general, so at the very least, it needs to be renamed. Somebody with an interest in MLB ballparks, or baseball in general, needs to take this article and overhaul it. It also needs many more pictures of the parks described. I know some people have worked hard to add good info to this article--kudos to them--but it needs some real work. My $.02. Jeeb 02:53, 10 August 2006 (UTC)


I was looking for the proverb "in the same ball park". I guess it means it is maybe not exactly on the spot, but at least close..

[edit] Images

This article has way too many images, most of them of low quality. Cacophony 04:08, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ballpark sizes

It's incorrect to say that the dimensions of a soccer field are fixed. As in baseball, the dimensions of certain parts of the field (viz., center circle, goal area, and penalty area) are rigidly set. However, the overall dimensions of the field are flexible, with defined limits. FIFA has recently moved toward greater standardization in field dimensions, but I'm not sure what the new specs are.

Are you saying a regulation soccer field is not necessarily 100 yards from goal line to goal line? Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 18:53, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
