Baseball Pilgrimages A whole world away from the States, former president George W. Bush last night threw out the first pitch prior to Game 3 of Japan's World Series, which pits the Nippon Ham Fighters versus the Yomiuri Giants. Bush's ceremonial toss took place at the Tokyo Dome, which was home to both teams from its opening in 1988 until 2004, when the Nippon Ham team moved to the Sapporo Dome.

Baseball Pilgrimages McKechnie Field, one of the great ballparks in the country, should finally get a minor league tenant in 2010 to compliment the 15 or so spring training games that it hosts for the Pittsburgh Pirates each year. Bradenton's gain will be Sarasota's loss, as the Florida State League team based there will be the one to make the 12-mile move to the Friendly City.

The Pittsburgh Pirates are close to finalizing a deal to purchase the Florida State League team in Sarasota and move the high Class-A team to Bradenton, team president Frank Coonelly said in a statement today.

Municipal Stadium was the nation's first publicly funded ballpark when completed in 1931 at a cost of $2,844,000 to Cleveland taxpayers, who had to wait 65 years for their "Mistake by the Lake" to be demolished. Fittingly, the debris was then deposited in Lake Erie, where it was used to create an artificial reef. I saw... at least one Indians game here as a kid in the '80s. The final night game, in 1993, is the subject of the newest panorama for sale in the Baseball Pilgrimages store.Read More

Baseball Pilgrimages Only 3 ballparks that hosted Negro League Baseball games are still standing. Rickwood Field in Birmingham is doing fine nowadays. Bush Stadium in Indianapolis still stands but will most likely be razed. Then there's Hinchliffe Stadium in Paterson, NJ, which is suffering from "demolition by neglect" its head preservationist laments and this article explains.

Monte Irvin stepped into the batter's box at Hinchliffe Stadium in Paterson, N.J., took measure of the stately new ballpark, and began depositing baseball after baseball over the outfield wall, some of his prodigious blasts traveling more than 400 feet.
Baseball Pilgrimages $1.5 billion spent and there's already cracks in the concrete of the new Yankee Stadium's ramps, which were built by a company, Interstate Industrial Corporation, accused of having links to the mob and that was supposed to be barred from doing work in the city as a result. Only in New York...

Baseball Pilgrimages Of the 67 minor league ballparks at which I've seen a game, Toledo's Fifth Third Field is my favorite. My just completed article/review of it covers the 8,943-seat home of the world famous Mud Hens (thanks to M*A*S*H) from past to present.

Baseball Pilgrimages I was once a runner -- a speedy one at that. I wish ballparks would've had 5Ks back in my running heyday in the late 90s. The one coming up in Yankee Stadium next month is pretty cool, as all 3.1 miles are run inside of the Stadium -- on its concourses, ramps and staircases -- with the finish line on the warning track.
