Candlestick wasn't a bad stadium, but the wind and cold weather was a major issue. It also lost some character when they closed in the right field area. Before that, it was open except for 3 sets of bleachers, you could see right into the parking lot and the bay. San Francisco and the peninsula is generally quite windy in the summer.

Another one that should be mentioned is Braves Field in Boston, whose dimensions changed over the years. Braves' owner James Gaffney wanted a lot of inside-the-park home runs, so when it opened in 1915, it was more than 400 feet down the lines and almost 500 feet to center field. Ty Cobb said that no one would hit a ball out of the park, and a home run wasn't hit over the fence until 1922.

I would ~~~LOVE~~~ to see half the baseball parks do that. Get rid of the juicers and bring back contact hitters and base stealers. When pitchers don't have to throw fire and only need to keep it down on the infield, they can last nine innings instead of six. It's pitching changes that make baseball games so long and boring, not batters wasting time at the plate. A "pitch clock" solves nothing and doesn't address the problem. Failing that, start calling the strike zone properly, the size of a window (36" by 17") instead of the size of a shoebox like it is now (24" by 15").

"Jarry Park: The capacity was 28,000 and the smallest in major league baseball". Uh, no. That dubious honor goes to Sick's Stadium in Seattle, home to the 1969 Seattle Pilots before they moved to Milwaukee. On opening day the stadium have about 17,000 seats, but they literally were still building some while the game went on. By June they had managed to top out at about 25,000 seats... but the facility was so poorly constructed that if there was anything more than 10,000 fans, the toilets and sinks stopped working from lack of water pressure. Oh, and they also built it on the cheap out of wood; and given the moist conditions in Seattle the stands began rotting almost immediately. It's an absolute worthy candidate if you decide to do another video about strange stadiums. There's a Lowe's built on the old location now. You can see a small memorial near the entrance where home plate used to be.

Back in 1984, I saw Kirk Gibson hit what I seem to remember was a walk off home run for The Tigers in Exhibition Stadium in Toronto. He hit it “ a country mile” as the old saying goes. It way cleared the right field fence and even cleared the exposed part of the football playing field landing in the end zone. Of course I do not know how long this homer was, but it had to be one of the longest in that now long defunct ballpark.

Borchert Field in Milwaukee was never home to a Major League Baseball team. There was an MLB team called the Brewers that played in Milwaukee in 1901, but according to Wikipedia, Borchert Field was not there home. That incarnation of the Brewers left for St Louis after the 1901 season, and become known as the Browns. The Brewers team that played there from 1902 - 1952 was a minor league team, they moved in preparation of the Braves moving to Milwaukee in 1953

@@samuelmoulds1016 I remember that there was a home run line in left field at Crosley, where the fence was made of two different materials, metal and wood. I believe if the ball hit the metal, it was a homer. The umps were supposed to be able to tell by the noise made when the ball hit. I would have definitely put Crosley on this list ahead of LA's Wrigley and the one in Milwaukee, which were not really MLB stadiums, at least not for long. I'd probably put it ahead of the original Wrigley as well, since the main point of "oddness" for the poster seems to be they played only day games for so long. Point of fact, the Cubs were going to install lights during the '40s, but then donated the metal to the war effort. After WW II, Phil Wrigley apparently didn't want to spend the money. Oh, and while we're on the subject of lights, Crosley Field was the first to get them back in, I believe 1938.

This was an interesting video and I enjoyed it. To the best of my knowledge major league baseball was not played in that stadium in Milwaukee except possibly for the very first few seasons of the American League starting in 1901. By approximately 1905 some of the AL teams had moved to their permanent locations and there was not another franchise shift in MLB until the Boston Braves moved to Milwaukee and became the Milwaukee Braves in 1953. In 1953 the Braves moved into County Stadium where they played for their tenure in Milwaukee until they moved to Atlanta in 1966 and then the Brewers starting in 1970 played at County Stadium until their current stadium was constructed. The Los Angeles Dodgers only played at the LA Coliseum from 1958 until 1961 while Dodger Stadium at Chavez Ravine was being constructed. The LA Coliseum was never intended as their permanent home.

I'm surprised Denver's Mile High Stadium and its movable left field stands isn't on this list. Like several stadiums mentioned, it hosted both MLB and NFL teams. But what makes it stand out is that the entire east side of the stadium moved out to accommodate left field for baseball games. The 9 million-pound triple-deck stucture, which seated about 20,000 fans, "floated" on a thin sheet of water while hydrolic jacks pushed it 145 feet out for baseball and in for football. From what I understand it was the largest movable structure in the world.

Exhibition stadium's location caused problems because it was so close to Lake Ontario there was often fog and seagulls on the field. And issues with wind and cold. It snowed during the blue jays first ever game, It's days were numbered after a nationally television Grey Cup game was played there in a torrential rain storm which exposed just how ill-equipped it was and a rally was held the next day with thousands of fans outside city hall chanting "we want a dome."

The fact that the bull pens in the Polo Grounds or the monuments at Old Yankee Stadium were in fair territory is not surprising. Both stadiums were built in the dead ball era of baseball. Since most batted balls did not carry to the wall anyway there was no need for uniform distances down the lines, center field, etc. I bet if baseball were invented today the outfield distances would be standardized just like the the infield.

It was at the end of the rail lines coming from Long Island, which he thought would make transportation to the stadium easier without reliance on a car, but Robert Moses, who laid out the highway system in New York, wanted him to build at what eventually became the Shea Stadium/Citi Field site. That wasn't good enough for O'Malley, so he left. Ironically, LA ended up being more car-centric than NY

Surprisingly the Polo Grounds was way more suited to football than baseball.

Also, while there were stadiums called the Polo Grounds going back to 1890, the famous one pictured here was built around 1911 after the previous version burned down.

Baseball is the only one of the major sports...baseball, basketball, football, Hockey, & soccer, where the dimensions of the playing surface vary from one place to the next!?

Actually, unless things have changed (and I admit they might have) hockey rink size is not standardized. I know it was this way when I was younger as a team with a lot of speed would want a larger ice surface, while slower, more defensive minded teams wanted smaller rinks.

The old Boston Garden used to have a small rink. All the old rinks were different sizes. I think all the new rinks are the same standard size.

@@goldenretriever6261 Yeah, you're probably, almost certainly, right. I believe (again I might be mistaken) that MSG is now the oldest arena in the NHL, so if they made all the rinks the size of the Rangers, it would make sense. Perhaps MSG had to increase the rink size as well.

I don't know what it was like before it was reconfigured for baseball, but I went to five Argonaut games there in 1987, and I had to go about 40 rows up on the covered side to get a good view because the field didn't run parallel to the grandstand. As for the uncovered side, I sat thee for my first game; as a visitor, I accepted the ticket clerk's word that I was getting a good seat. Indeed, it would have been a good seat down the first base line for baseball, but was on the 5-yard line for football. At least I had a good view of a couple of touchdowns.

Yeah thanks for screwing all of us on PC MLB The Show. I got it on Xbox and was pumped it was finally on Xbox when the console overpriced garbage consoled on me and quit working with no recourse. I got a PC and was going to get The Show only to see it's never coming to PC..smh.
