After dropping the series to the Braves and losing the first game to the Mets the Yankees have responded by winning 5 straight. Won the Mets series and then swept the Indians, have a big series against the White Sox starting today

Anyone seen the MLB Players Poll??? I really enjoy it...

Just out of curiousty what ball parks would people like to go to???

my 5 would be

1. National Park - obvious reasons
2. AT&T Park. Home of the Giants... Drove past it when i was in the states, looks awesome.
3. Wrigley - one of the oldest, if not the oldest. Love the look of it... and i have a soft spot for the cubs.
4. Fenway - as above.
5. Obviously Yankee Stadium. If i had a choice between the old and the new stadium i'd say the old one...

i'd like to go to alot more, but they'd be my top 5. honorable mentions go to Camden Yards (Baltimore). Progressive Field (Indians). San Diego. Texas and Houston....

As a giants fan, been to AT&T, cracker park, always a sell out, was a great atmosphere

My five I would like to visit are:

1. Wrigley - filled with history and I love Old style stadiums
2. Fenway - same as above
3. Yankee Stadium - gotta do it
4. PNC Park - Heard the Pittsburgh park is a great park with the bridges past centre field etc
5. Camden Yards - also a great looking park with a lot of character

Mentions to Safeco Field (Seattle), Progressive (Cleveland) and Citizens Bank (philly)

I went to Fenway Park in 2010. Absolutely blew me away as we walked around the corner in Boston after getting out of the train and suddenly seeing the back of the green monster stand. Fans every where. Bars overflowing, dudes flogging merchandise and programs. Then through security and into the ground and and I just froze with excitement as I took it all in and soaked up the history and tradition. Unforgettable. But I was equally as excited as a kid the first time I went to Windy Hill and to the MCG.

Would definitely give it serious consideration and if its the Giants I'm there.
You would think it would be one West coast team at least

Agreed, Giants would seal the deal for me! I reckon they'd be likely to send 2 West Coast teams so maybe Giants v Padres? doubt it would be a marquee matchup like SF V Dodgers.

Might bring a team with an Australian influence eg. Oakland who have a number of Aussies on their books like they did by sending Ichiro and the Mariners to Japan.

Depends what the rosters look like by then I guess!
