Another question we get all the time. They do a good job of keeping it updated, too. We have the map for sale in our store. Also, there is a wonderful map that the Baseball Hall of Fame helped produce called the The World of Baseball , but it is out of print. A shame. But probably my favorite representation of ballparks on a map, of sorts, is the Touring The Majors Poster that we published ourselves.
Check it out. Please settle a bet. I say that some stadiums have pitchers mounds that use hydraulic lifts to retract it into the ground. It was important when they needed to convert the baseball configuration into a soccer field. I have no earthly idea. However, we typically direct e-mailers with questions about high-school parks to www. Also, www. Another very common request. An excellent resource — that was updated wonderfully not too long ago, in fact — is Green Cathedrals by Philip Lowry.
Sometimes an outfit like Amazon. This is a tough one to answer, especially since some stadiums favored pitchers some seasons and hitters the rest of the time. COM, I provide a chart that lets you compare key characteristics of all of the parks used in the Majors since The Ballpark Chart provides where it is available the outfield dimensions, the outfield-wall heights and an interesting statistic called Area of Fair Territory AFT.
What about the park for the St. This site is solely about parks in the Majors and the affilated Minors. There are some interesting Web resources for the indy leagues, though.
Note that the Northern League, like so many of the leagues and teams in indy ball, has been disbanded. COM has aligned itself with the largest, and we think best, of these vendors. I also think highly of Diamond Baseball Tours.
These are ideal. Club Level is the best. In the past, the manager also served as the third base coach, so occupying the third base dugout meant less walking for the manager between innings. Contrarily, the thought is that since more close plays occur at first base than third, the first base dugout is preferred.
This is followed by sitting behind the home plate area or along the first base line. The home team shall occupy the third base dugout. No batted balls by players or coaches during this time in the outfield. If you desire additional warm up time, you will need to use the practice field both teams will need to share the field.
Major League Baseball clearly states in rule 1. Preparing to build a field starts with homeplate. The Astros have been moved to the first base dugout.

May 13, Rating Yankees by: Jorgemonza I'm happy to see they were left off the list. Their new ball park is an overpriced morgue. No home feild advantage. Love it! Go Sox!! I was pretty sure with my information; just went to the Yankees Facebook Page and their cover photo is a shot of the Yankees lined up on the first base line for the National Anthem.
They are in pin stripes, so that would put them at home, first base side. Or wind? Relative to the orientation of the stadium Just guessing. Apr 05, Rating 3rd base by: Anonymous Sorry Rick. But there dug-out is on the 3rd base side. Jan 31, Rating My mistake by: Rick, theoleballgame Yankees use the first base dugout. In an ALCS game one year, not sure which one, there was a camera shot from the third base dugout, as a pitch was being delivered.
It captured Derek Jeter in the on deck circle, first base side. As the pitch was delivered, Jeter was set up, timing the pitch. The camera caught Jeter, in the on deck circle, dropping just as the hitter did. I have never seen that level of concentration in an on deck circle, before, or since that day. Special indeed!! Jan 29, Rating yanks by: Anonymous no yanks? Jan 12, Rating Thanks Rick! I'M trying to visit as many parks as possible. The Yankees use the first base dugout. I had watched a ALCS series game one year where they had a camera shot from the third base dugout, through home plate to the Yankees dugout.
Jeter was in the on deck circle, timing the pitchers deliveries to the hitter. Pitcher threw a ball up and in, which put the Yankee hitter on the ground.
The camera shot on replay showed Jeter stride to time the pitch and was so locked in, that he dropped on the ground also. Most amazing example of pure focus I can remember seeing. That is what makes him who he is! Sep 18, Rating Yankees? Story Resource Contact Rick. Home Page Check Out Sitemap What's New?
