Go past it all the time (cause there's no southbound entrance on Irving), but have never managed to catch a game though. Have caught many Kane County Cougars games, though (west suburbanite here), and a few Schaumburg Boomers. Cougars have a very boring park, dimensionally, but Boomers' stadium has some neat bits.

While the FCBL is a collegiate summer league, Wahconah Park has been used by pro teams in the past, with the most recent being the Pittsfield Colonials of the Can-Am League just a decade ago (the current collegiate team replaced them). So, per the opening of the video, it counts as a past minor league stadium.

On the Bosse field, 1. It’s the second way you pronounce it. It’s kind of like saying bossy but with an E. 2. On the dimensions of the field, The outside wall of that stadium used to be the homerun wall back in the 80s when Evansville had its previous minor-league team. When the otters came to Evansville, that’s when the current wall was put in place. On the old wall it was very rare to see someone hit one out of the park. 3. Also, this field was used in the movie A League of Their Own starring Tom Hanks.

Eric Ridener My high school was roughly 35 minutes away from Evansville. So occasionally we would play one or two teams from Evansville and some of those times the games are played at Bossie Field. When we played down there, it was normally in mid to early April and about one or two weeks prior to when the otters season would open up.

As a lifelong KC Royals fan, I immediately recognized the shape/dimensions of the Lawrence Dumont Stadium in Wichita, Kansas. You see, Wichita used to be home to Kansas City's AA affiliate, the Wichita Wranglers, until 2007 when they moved to NW Arkansas and became the Naturals.Anyhow, the field is actually the exact shape as the Royals field at Kauffman Stadium was from the mid-90s until the mid 2000s when they brought the outfield wall in 10 ft from power alley to power alley. And Kauffman still has the crazy rounded walls down both lines so that, despite being 330 ft down each line, once you get a mere 30 or 40 feet into fair territory it's a good 370 feet to get the ball out of the ballpark similar to the way right field is at Fenway where it's 302 ft but the wall essentially keeps going straight with the foul line so that its 380 ft just a few feet to the fair side of the Pesky Pole.

Albert Park is definitely unique, having the softball infield in centerfield. But the atmosphere there is great. The Pacifics are historically good as well. The softball backstop serves at the center field fence. Which is 370 ft. It helps it play more true to professional dimensions

Bro now you're just making fun of me. My grandpa got tickets for 3 saints games this year, like he does every year, the first 2 were cancelled obviously, but the last one is today. I was really looking forward to it but I have to work and I really wanted to go see the Saint Paul Saints with my mom, siblings, and grandpa. Also, the fewer amount of people at the park means more chance to get baseballs, and shorter lines for things. I finally was getting over this immeasurable darkness in which a mortal being has the inability to percieve, but thanks to you I must once again drown in the tears of yesterday.

The park in Lansing used to be called Oldsmobile Park. It hosted a soccer team last year that folded after one season. Lansing had a decent soccer club before that one, but they folded to make way for the higher profile team. The team also sought and received city tax funds to put the team in the park. To top it off, their logo was a recycled logo from an old indoor soccer team from Detroit. Baseball people running a soccer team with a rip off logo in a really weird baseball stadium on taxpayer money, what could possibly go wrong?

Sorta surprised to see the Asheville (NC) Tourists field left off the list. This iconic little park sits high on a hill that has to be approached by driving up and past it to park. Left field is HS distance down the line. CF is around 395:. But RF. . .is the kicker. It has its own version of the Fenway Green Monster. Down the line is under 300' but the wall juts straight up another 20-25". The right fielder has to make a choice on how to play the ball off the wall. It's possible to throw runners out at FIRST on a strong carom if fielded correctly. This park has a long history. Babe Ruth once played there with the Yankees as they moved north from spring training. He's rumored to have eaten 12 hotdogs and became ill. The Astros and Colorado Rockies spent the most time on this field. A ball. This field is a historical gem. Love going there.

3:53 OMG mexican fan here, thats the park of my city! i have some curious facts about Estadio Revolucion, it has the widest foul territory of the league, that thing at right field is a bar, many homeruns landed there, you can see players throwing warmup balls to the drunk fans (when they are on good mood of course) very often, in the top part of that building you can make a bbq and get hit by a home run too, also the huge wall of billboards its a kind of green monster but yeah never filled with sponsors during the season, behind the park you can find a small sports complex, lots of homeruns land on that place too, you can get some sunburn at the right field seats trying to get a foul ball, my brother caught one on the fly last year and thats all, great video as always man! :D

Rickwood Field Located in Birmingham, Alabama, Rickwood Field is the oldest professional baseball park in the United States. Built for the Birmingham Barons in 1910, it’s now undergoing gradual restoration as a “working museum.” The Barons play one regular season game a year at Rickwood Field.

Well, the Pecos League is the opportunistic put-a-team-anywhere low end of independent leagues. The only reason a League named for a river in the southwest dessert even a Pacific division with teams in California is because they jumped in to take a couple of ballparks that had lost affiliated teams (and one of those they don't even use anymore).

Lansing area resident here, the Lugs are a reference to our automotive past, but still the now former Oldsmobile Park and Cooley Law School stadium now Jackson Field dimensions suck, doesn’t help either that the outfield walls are basically one big green monster, I’ve went to lugnuts games my entire life but the last game I went to back on Father’s Day was the first time I actually seen a multi HR game by a team and it was the Great Lakes Loons, other than that it’s the most pitched friendly ball park in single A, still not a bad seat on the stadium if you don’t get killed my a foul ball hitting off of the suites!

For once Sam Lynn Ballpark in Bakersfield, California didn't make this list. Shortest centerfield in professional baseball. It has sun delays, because the Ballpark was built the wrong way. Most games start at 7::45pm

check out a closed minor league ballpark. More like a backyard play area. Baxter Stadium in Mountaindale, New York. It was home to the Sullivan Mountain Lions and Catskill Cougars Low A ball. Opened in 1997 and I believe closed in 2003 when both teams went bankrupt due to low attendance. The park was in the middle of nowhere and the players locker rooms were in the local firehouse.

The park in San Rafael CA. 5:24 In my opinion the reason it looks pretty bad is 2 things. 1) patchy grass because water is hard to come by in CA 2) it’s a dual field because land is hard to come by in some areas in CA. Yes I live in CA, an hour away from that town.

Lawrence-Dumont Stadium was actually named after two people Charles S. Lawrence and Ray Dumont, thus the hyphenation that you overlooked. No one in Wichita called it "Dumont Stadium" either. "LDS" was a way more common nickname.

Guy from Torreón here!!! I've been following you for a while but I just watched this video and I never thought I would see estadio revolución in one of your vids!! I guess Google pictures were taken a while ago, the stadium has been taken care of under a new admin and looks way better now, but the odd dimensions are still there (partly because of a terrace bar on the right field).
