Message: [QUOTE="Shrmdougluvr, post: 4261623, member: 396"] When ball parks were built in the old days, they often had to fit them into the city blocks where they are sited. That's why Fenway has its quirks, for example. Then, when the next wave of parks were built, many were multi-use or took on more of a cookie cutter approach. Then you had the early 90's iteration where they went retro and added quirks just for the sake of adding quirks (like the hill in center field in Houston) and some of the ridiculous outfield angles. I think the "new" Camden Yards is pretty much universally acclaimed as the best blend of all the styles. [/QUOTE]
