I'm not really a baseball fan, don't remember the last time I watched even an inning on TV muchless been to a game. Your videos popped up on my feed and you seem like a cool dude and I have enjoyed a handful of your videos. Great content and you're very well spoekn.

[@iHitchiti]

You need more light. Natural light is best if possible Love the vids :)

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Thanks! This video something happened with my camera. Not sure what happened but I fixed it. Thanks for watching and commenting!

The shadows from the hat make it even worse.

C.mon, fellas: It's the message, the vibes, the camraderie here. I don't click on here for a Speilberg extravaganza, and neither do you. = )

[@kalebtackett7758]

Did you have any weird fan experiences and if you did what happened?

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Let me think about it! I can't think of any of the top of my head. Thanks for watching and for commenting!

[@luisrosales9349]

Dodger stadium had the same clubhouse for both teams since it opened all the way until 2013. Before then teams shared weight rooms. Eating areas and cages.

[@masonterry8823]

These videos are awesome man. Really gives everyone a feel of how the bigs is. Keep up the good work

Ever play in Philly? Between 06 and 11 CBP rocked! Happening again with Bryce on board.

We out here!. Amazing/inspiring videos. So happy to of found you!

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Thanks!!!

[@jaelenpace8776]

These videos are really fascinating man. As huge baseball fan I really love having a behind-the-scenes look at The Show. Also your hats are so sick!!! Keep it up man! Sweet videos.

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Thanks!!! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@Phoenix-pm2qr]

Love this insight!

[@budstephens7239]

I think I was the one that asked about stadiums so thanks !!! Very interesting.... I saw in your other video about minor leagues that you were once in triple A for the Yankees , which ment you played in my home area ...Scranton Wilkes barre in pa .... you ever hit one over the right field fence that hit the mall up on top of the mountain ??? Lol. Anyway thanks for the interesting video .

[@JeffJefferyUK]

8:16 GREAT click at the camera. Be proud of that home run. Aside from anything else, that's one more HR than I hit in my whole life (I played baseball in the UK for 21 years - warning track power!)

[@nicholasritchie7163]

Love the videos Matt!!

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Thanks so much! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@Russellbruce5056]

My favorite from a fan experience is Coors Field, Colorado. Food is good, favorites are the Burrito Bowl and the chocolate covered bacon. Since I'm a senior, I can gain admission for a $1. Since I'm a Dodgers fan, I can see the Dodgers there multiple times. Great stadium to walk around even if you don't wish to sit anywhere. You can see the bullpen from the top. Thanks for the perspectives!

[@aakao2593]

Love these videos.

[@micycles1200]

I'm glad to know your favorite park is my home park. I've never watched a game anywhere else and the only other park I have been to is Wrigley Field. Dodger Stadium is truly one of the greatest ballparks anywhere. The symmetry here is beautiful. I'm glad to know, also, that it feels like a football game. We haven't had a football team for a long time so we had to make do I guess. We do have the largest capacity in the majors and it shows.

[@BOOGE64]

Very informative channel. I like your insight.

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Thanks so much!!! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@j.foster1560]

I love your honesty in these videos. I have always been curious as to wether you break in a new glove every season or do you have a favorite one that you use for years.

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Thank you!!! Thanks so much for watching and I really appreciate you commenting!!

[@ABCDEFG-bk9gx]

We're there any triple A, double A or spring training facilities that were nicer than major league parks?

[@bikinguy14]

Can you do a video on what its like to play in a stadium that is sold out vs. one that seems empty?

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Yeah sure thing! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@Thesummitmidwest]

Good question! I've wondered the same thing too.

[@johnpublica2809]

You have an awesome channel, Matt; keep up the great work! It’s every little boy’s dream to play in ‘The Big Show,’ but since most never will, your insights allows us to live vicariously through you. Your videos are fascinating to no end. To keep myself in the game I loved as a kid, I umpire high school & college ball and love it. Best seat in the house but you have to stand. Speaking of ballparks, what is your thoughts regarding Safeco Field? I’m sure you played there many times working for San Diego. My son & I try to get up there 3 or 4 times a year. I live in Salem, Oregon, home of the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes, and rivals to the Eugene Emeralds. Small world.

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Thanks!!! And I Never got the chance to play there unfortunately! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@KeetzK02]

Really cool that you got to play against your all time favorite player! Dream come true for sure lol

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Absolutely!!! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@jjcuna]

I made Wrigley in 2016. I was an awesome experience. I always loved the Ivy. Grew up watching cubbies and Harrey Carrey announcung.

[@AntonelliBaseball]

That's awesome! I unfortunately never got to play there or watch a game there. One day! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@stevemccart9109]

Some great memories at dodger stadium. Thanks for the nice words.

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Thanks!!! Thanks for watching and commenting!!

[@funnnflix]

great lighting

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Ha ha. Camera was messed up. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@gabel6877]

Thanks for answering my question bro

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Thanks for asking!

[@mattdegirolomo2631]

Do a video about your experience of when and where guys do autographs throughout an away game

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Will do! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@carsonpotter5594]

How nice were the famous MLB players when u got called up?

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Most were very nice! Thanks for watching and for commenting!

[@9989812]

Antonelli Baseball can you name a few of the famous players you interacted with for me?

[@tpz7618]

Ive never really thought dodger stadium would be that impressive. But now I may want to go visit. I'm a White Sox fan and I've never been to a game with much intensity...I did almost purchase tickets to game 2 of the 05 World Series, I had enough to cover the tickets, but after fees and tax and all that I couldn't do it. So sad cause that was just an absolutely amazing game.

[@backtobacknate1404]

The clubhouses were renovated a couple years ago in Dodger Stadium

[@yKarmaPolice]

nice video any opinions on Comerica Park (although you didn't play a game there unfortunately)

[@prestonrios2778]

You should talk about all the All-Stars you played with in the Minors or Majors. Along with describing their personal side.

[@HyperFuze]

Are you in any MLB video games?

[@MyNamelsBlue]

I can confirm he is in MLB 09 The Show at least

[@EarlMantis]

Hyper Fuze I can confirm he is in the show 2012

[@samuelbarrett5648]

EarlMantis What team in 2012?

[@samuelbarrett5648]

Noah Yock Ok thank you.

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Yes I was in a couple. Thanks for watching and for commenting!

[@bradhillig9844]

I was hoping you would talk about Wrigley Field. They’ve made a lot of improvements since you played.

[@rad_ryno9684]

What happens after an ejection from a game at a higher level? I know some guys go and finish their workout since they didn't play a full game, just didn't know if players leave after an ejection, stick around for the locker room talk after a game or finish a work out.

[@desmondciauri4616]

Iive in Orange County right next to Angels Stadium but i travel up the 5 to watch the Dodgers because its so much more intense. I remember MannyWood it was the most amazing experience when i felt the ground actually moving. I can't imagine would it would be like on the field

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Yup it was awesome!! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@AlBeebe]

The visitor clubhouse at Coors field, and the stadium in general is incredible

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Absolutely!!! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@dkshrute1700]

Interesting videos, I enjoy watching them. During your time in pro ball did you ever get star struck by a player you played against or with. Any interactions with them and how were they nice or cocky?

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Thanks!!! I will make a video for you about it! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@mikelee9890]

Great video. Did anyone ever hit you with a pitch that you felt like might've been on purpose?

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Honestly no I don’t think so! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@rad_ryno9684]

Do you still have that first home run ball? It should be on the shelf behind you!

[@glgoonery7201]

random ryno no, the Padres lost it

[@HitBoxGhost]

Pretty recently I heard the clubhouses at Dodger Stadium have been renovated and modernized. The home clubhouse anyway. I've heard the visitor clubhouse is the only room there that is the exact way it was built day one

[@661EASTON89]

Wonder if that Manny Ramirez grand slam was his pinch-hit grand slam on his bobble head night. That was so insane. Grand slam was also hit into his Mannywood section.

[@alk61695]

Did you ever get to play at Shea Stadium or Citi Field?

[@MarkSmith-js2pu]

Matt, I was hoping you would mention the D Backs stadium.

[@dival9035]

ever played at chase field? if you did, how did you feel about it?

[@james8156]

I agree with Miller Park as far as lighting goes ( depressing when not open )

[@ajrichards1190]

Can you do a video what where the best cities to play in, what cities had the best nightlife, and were there team curfews on road games?

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Sure thing!!! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@ishaanhardaway7277]

What was it like growing up and playing baseball in the northeast? I live in Pennsylvania and it's really hard to get work in in winter.

[@tylito4764]

Knew Tropicana would pop up for least liked lol

[@scottmccullough3981]

I watched some of your videos, and loved them so far. I am a baseball (Pittsburgh Pirates) fan almost from birth. There is a black and white photo of me sitting on my mom's lap, with a radio beside her, and yes the Pirates game was playing. Did you ever play in PNC Park? As a fan I get back there every year for a few games and love it. Would be great to hear your thoughts as a player if you played there. Will close with the best saying about baseball, Mr Banks, "Lets play two."

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Thanks!!! And that is cool! I never got to play there unfortunately. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@TheBoringLameInvestor]

Kershaw went 7th in your draft. That would be considered a steal haha

[@MattyMalvs9]

Pretty cool to here your from mass around me im in haverhill not to far from peabody on the mass nh border

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Yeah for sure! We have a game there this week! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@bmschneider30]

What do you think about Great American Ball Park ? Its definitely hitters friendly.

[@MickLoud999]

I've never been in a major league dressing room but I've heard there is a huge difference between home and away. Of course the Home dressing rooms are top notch. I've heard the visitor rooms are anything from spartan to less than desirable. Gamesmanship!

[@LiveAmplifiedshow]

This summer I am doing a tour of all the Florida State League Stadiums and documenting my entire experience. did you ever play in the FSL? What advice do you have?

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Awesome! I never got to play in that league! Have fun!

[@LiveAmplifiedshow]

Did you ever get to play against Matt Fields? I had the opportunity to get to know him during my internship with the Southern Illinois Miners.

[@kx7zz]

can you make a video talking about getting out of slumps?

[@AboveMediocrity2010]

kmbrr a friend of mine described "slump buster" and I instantly wished I hadn't heard it.

[@xo_edmo]

Dodgers stadium!!! But the "but it went over" had my actually laughing. Thanks for sharing bro!!

[@dylanleary7495]

when you are batting, what are you trying to watch? Change of speed, wrist movement, etc.

[@AntonelliBaseball]

I'm looking to see the ball. Really that is it. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@jeffharrison1090]

Hey, did you get a change to play at Wrigley's field. Would think it would be more similar to Boston because of its age. Love as a fan, Dodger stadium too & their hotdogs & food, great as well.

[@kevinkirk4285]

Attending a game at Fenway is on my bucket list.

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Definitely a great place to watch a game. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@chrisdub846]

even Ryan Braun complained about the shadows in the Brewers stadium

[@GregJay]

Also, do you still play like in the MSBL or some league? I have played in the MSBL world series in Arizona in November against a few ex-pro's will you ever play organized ball again?

[@willconley3796]

what was the worst weather game you've ever played in

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Wow good question! Will have to think about that one. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@powpowking1209]

Did you ever play at the globe life park?

[@ari.friedman]

I did a dodger stadium tour once and I saw those old lockers and they did look pretty crappy but they have better ones now

[@kennethlucas7473]

I'm old enough to remember Candlestick Park. The place was a joke: Cold, windy, and wet....even in August!

[@dananderson6334]

As a lifelong Giants fan, I remember Candlestick well. AT&T Park or whatever it's called now is amazing.

[@howie9751]

Candlestick was a strange park, but I saw a game there and the atmosphere was really good. Haven't see Oracle yet.

[@scottsokachitch]

Comiskey (Guaranteed Rate Field)?

[@justjack9849]

i watched a game at Tropicana. I thought it was very cool to be in a dome. I would go back. The only problem is getting there is a pain. you need to cross a long long bridge from Tampa to st. Petersburg

[@anthonypapagni6472]

Wow thanks for actually commenting back to people

[@jeffreymorrow2665]

Did you ever play the Harrisburg senators I think they are a AA team that is a farm team for the nationals. It’s kind of a neat minor league stadium it’s on a island in the middle of a river. Cutter Dykstra was a fan favorite for a while.

[@AntonelliBaseball]

I rehabbed there for about a week or so. I enjoyed it there. Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@GregJay]

I am going to make you for my MLB17 the show what was your favorite team to play for? But my real question to you is this. How did you get in your zone with all the pressure to perform swirling around you? I never played pro ball because my head wasn't in the right place when I was 16-19 years old then by the time your 20-22 you're an old man if you haven't gone anywhere but I did enjoy some great seasons. Now as an older player I find that coaches in my league have this expectation that I should dominate like I did as a younger player and I fail now more often than not to the point that I now am wondering why I want to even deal with it anymore. Perhaps you can help me with the mental aspect of the game how did you deal with adversity? Other than retire which I play in my own age bracket 55+ what advice would you give to a player like me to get some of the old magic back?

[@Mr.56Goldtop]

Did you find the visitors clubhouse facilities a lot less accommodating in most parks?

[@browndog5321]

Safeco Field (T Mobile)

[@ajschlem]

What did you think about Turner Field?

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Older field but it was nice. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@HCNemoh]

How was the post game press?

[@jonathankao4592]

What was your routine like during the season/offseason?

[@lyallarblaster3416]

Did you ever get to play North of the border? What are your thoughts on the Sky Dome? (I will always call it Sky Dome!) Again, thanks for the awesome videos. 🍻

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Played in Vancouver but never in Toronto. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@billcarr9902]

Been to the Trop while on business in Tampa. Outside an abomination. Inside isn't so bad. Sat in outfield bleachers. Decent sightlines from those seats. Food and food choices pretty good. It is NOT Fenway or Wrigley and they DO need a new stadium (no dome (retractable would be fine), no turf, please). Having said that, I enjoyed seeing the two games I got to see there. I'd go back again for a game.

[@masonmeeks8122]

Did you ever play at Kauffman stadium? If so, did you like it?

[@djq7225]

Did you ever play in Minute Maid Park? If so, your thoughts? IMO it's one of the most beautiful stadiums in MLB. I'm not just saying that because I'm a Houstonian either. I've been to 17 different MLB stadiums, and MMP is in my top 5. I think Pittsburgh has the nicest park overall. As far as the worst, that hideous eyesore in Miami should be remodeled already. The only cool thing about it or the fish tanks filled into the back stops. That thing in CF looks like something my Grandma has in her garden, lol. Appreciate the videos. I just discovered your channel couple days ago and have been binge watching the hell out of them. Have a good one brother, take care, and God Bless you.

[@AntonelliBaseball]

I never got to unfortunately! Thanks for the insight!!! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@joeylopes8963]

What do players say to the umpire when they're walking away after a strikeout? Just wondering because most of the time it does not look like an argument, more like a question and a nod. Thanks love the videos!

[@Thisisnotausername_]

I recall one of the National's announcers saying that the players are trying to get a feel for the strike zone since there is some variation with different umpires.

[@allegiant001]

How did you feel about SafeCo

[@tannerstephens8494]

did you ever play in Busch? if so how did it feel?

[@slorbs6608]

Honestly if he had you know it would be #1. St.Louis has been rated by OTHER teams as the best atmosphere.

[@rayturano4089]

Life long Chicagoan, Wrigley is a beautiful field. I played college baseball, but never played at Wrigley or any Major League field. I was used to sand, gravel, uneven surfaces, etc. It didn't matter, I loved and still love the game.

[@howie9751]

Wasn't impressed by Wrigley. I really enjoy Fenway a lot except if you get one of their bad seats and you can't see home plate. But the atmosphere is all baseball.
