THEN & NOW: DEMOLISHED MLB & Pro Baseball Stadiums - Matching Up Exact Location (Part 2)

[@ericrakestraw664]

Kenny Rogers' perfect game took place in 1994 after the Rangers left Arlington Stadium. Just replace the radio call with Nolan Ryan's 7th no-hitter and the mistake will be fixed.

[@HummBabyBaseball]

I realized that as soon as I uploaded! I think its too late now

[@jimmydabaker]

Or Mike Witt's Perfect game; only one thrown in original stadium, for The Angels though. Last game of the season and everybody talked crap about how they were just going through the motions, last game of year, crummy lineup blah blah blah, L didn't understand that at the time and still don't. Perfect game is a Perfect game.

Finally, someone who actually knows how to do before and after pictures, excellent my friend

I have fond memories of going to the Metrodome to watch games, driving up from where I lived in northern Iowa. There were revolving doors to get in, so they wouldn't lose air pressure as much. After the game, they opened up regular doors so the fans could get out faster, and those doors would literally blow you out of the stadium. Kids, including myself, would have fun trying to walk back in against the wind, but the gate employees would shoo us all away. After games we would wait where players would come out. Puckett would sneak out of a gate, so you'd have to guess which one it would be in order to catch him, and he would sign autographs for the people who guessed correctly. I'd always just go to where I could meet all of the players. Hrbek and Gaetti would always come out together and would form a line and sign for absolutely everyone. I also remember getting autographs from Blyleven and Viola, and several other Twins. The other team would come out from there and get on their bus to go to their hotel, and I remember getting Don Mattingly's autograph. Following a Royals loss, George Brett was in a bad mood, and essentially plowed through all of the kids to get on the bus. I think I got Cal Ripken's autograph. My favorite Metrodome memory was catching a batting practice home run by the Rangers' Toby Harrah that went over the left field plexiglass. My dad was able to find him after the game and got him to sign the ball on the manager's spot, along with a nice dedication to me. It's still on my shelf, 36 years later.

[@katherineberger6329]

In my heart, I want the Twins to play just ONE home game at US Bank Stadium.

[@MrUnsolvedMystery]

Thanks for including old met stadium and the metrodome in minnesota. Fond memories from childhood attending games there. Gone forever

[@55giantsfan22]

Its like looking at pics of family that has passed

[@b1646717]

Some that you've heard of all your life but were gone before you were born.

[@kaboomkieboom8777]

Bad, old or ugly. You just get that.. man where has time gone. Not just stadiums, but players, famous calls, memorable plays and hits. Baseball hits different man

[@mikesemie5028]

Gotta say that the new League Park in Cleveland is phenomenal to play on, played a ton of summer ball games there over recent years and I always love it

[@mikesemie5028]

you can feel how special it is to play there

[@edgardascoli640]

WOW!! What a emotion!!! I SAVED into my heart!💖 👏👏👏 & 👍

[@stevefaure415]

Well done. If you're a baseball fan this is high drama. Thanks.

[@Elmcitymusic]

Both of these videos are great! Thank you for the time and effort in them

[@jennyvega8]

amazing video Humm Baby! its so sad how stadiums come and go

[@eddiez1247]

As I watching this I couldn't help myself from singing Madonna "This Used to Be Our Playground" in my head. My brain has now been demonetized.

[@eddiez1247]

Amazing work dude.

[@HummBabyBaseball]

@@eddiez1247 thank you!

[@allenmurray7893]

Shibe Park, Baker Bowl, and just for grins, hiw about the Hollywood Stars old ball park in LA. Sportsman's Park in St. Louis. I was thinking about the Star's ball park, but when I wanted to name it, I lost it. The old Oakland Oaks ball park from the PCL. Now i remember, Gilmore Field.

[@lonniestephens6254]

It kinda makes agitated that the classic mlb venues were brought down & destroyed.

[@JaysonT1]

That was freaking haunting!!!!

[@UFOCurrents]

Great series. Thanks. ♥⚾

[@nonononononononononoonononoon]

Well done

[@dukem991]

In Toronto there is a plaque where home plate used to be you stand on it and still see the first and third base lines in the cement

[@charlesjwin]

The Sonoma County Crushers played in the former home of the Redwood Pioneers, which was a minor league co-op team in 1979 & then a California Angels minor league affiliate from 1980 thru 1985.

[@KlingonCaptain]

I wish that there were photos of the Minor League Baseball stadium that used to be where South George Medical Center is. It was called Pendleton Park, and the Valdosta Tiggers used to play there. Neither the team nor the ballpark exists anymore.

[@pizza4paddy]

Wrigley Field, LA. I’ve been a lifelong angels fan, and yet I’m still at a young age, The Angels.. They used to play there.

[@David-yw2lv]

From what I heard,the LA stadium was called Wrigley Field before the one in Chicago.

[@signsofthepastime]

I could watch these for hours

[@josephdowler7938]

Awesome video. Thank you.

[@HummBabyBaseball]

No problem; thank you for watching!

[@b1646717]

This was big feels....

[@Dulcimerist]

I've been scared to watch this series, since I know I'd cry if the old Metropolitan Stadium in the Twin Cities was shown, along with the monstrosity Mall of America which was built in its spot.

[@HummBabyBaseball]

You better not watch this one.. watch the 1st episode

[@Dulcimerist]

@@HummBabyBaseball It's too late, and then you further added salt to the wound by also having the Metrodome in here. The first one probably has old Busch Stadium. All three stadiums I attended MLB games in are gone.

[@HummBabyBaseball]

@@Dulcimerist sad stuff

[@datking9184]

Great job

[@icedogfan1]

Surprised you didn't show County Stadium in Milwaukee

[@UnhungHero]

Tiger stadium, comiskey park, Milwaukee county stadium, to make a few, would have been interesting

[@stephencaudle1766]

They're in a previous video of his

[@revinevan87]

part 3? with kingdome?

[@big8dog887]

They paved paradise, and put up a parking lot.

[@Bankhead49]

Oh bop bop bop🎵🎵

[@crazy4christ324]

"I can't beleive how times change so fast, haunting indeed!~ 😱

[@skatalyst00]

Or as Yogi might put it: "It takes a long time for things to change so fast" 🙃

[@michaelbaucom4019]

I believe the old Minnesota-Bloomington was home for the NFL Vikings too...

[@Rebel-eq7ul]

Do a seals stadium then and now.

[@HummBabyBaseball]

It is in part 1, check it out!

[@Rebel-eq7ul]

@@HummBabyBaseball thank!!!

[@rogerkinard7446]

Arlington Stadium was originally a minor league ballpark named Turnpike Stadium and was the home of the Double-A Texas Spurs. It seated just over 10,000 fans and opened on April 23, 1965. Its original cost was only $1.9 million. Let's go DODGERS 2023 !!! ⚾️⚾️⚾️ ROGER, The LOS ANGELES DODGER (from the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex)

[@kevbomevbo3492]

Home plate for Metropolitan Stadium is still there inside the Mall of America.

[@rulinghabs]

Next time add Jarry Park in Montreal (Expos)

[@skatalyst00]

Surprised how below grade Met stadium was, unless that's a trick of the image...

[@skatalyst00]

McCarver Stadium looks like it has an artificial infield and a grass outfield?? Like a lot of his TV analysis, that doesn't make much sense🙃

[@patrickobrien8060]

Either I blinked or you missed Comisky Park, Chicago.

[@LaEMars]

Kenny Rogers Perfect Game was at the BallPark not at Arlington Stadium. You should have use Nolan 5000th strikeout instead.

[@HummBabyBaseball]

I know I messed up.. for some reason I was thinking it happened there even though the announcer even says first year at The Ballpark in Arlington. I'm an idiot.

[@LaEMars]

@@HummBabyBaseball nah 1994 was that weird year where baseball happened and yet didn’t happen.

[@biggjimjones8381]

Where's Baltimore's Memorial Stadium? But you have minor league parks. WTF!?...

[@mikeivey7167]

Very well done. I am quite sure that you could teal all over the U. S. And find many sites for stadiums that are no longer there, especially for minor league baseball. I will give you two from Houston TX. Old Houston Buff Stadium, last I saw, home plate was inside a Fingers Furniture store off I 45 south of downtown. Then old Jeppeson Stadium. Home of the Old AFL Houston Oilers. I believe it has been torn down, on the Campus of the University of Houston! Not sure if it exists anymore. Heard it had been demolished. Was used for many years to host High School Football games. Won’t be long until the old Astrodome rusts into hell too!
