I’ve been to Camden Yards, and Shea, just didn’t see the teams play there. I may technically have been on the Seattle Kingdome property while a game was occurring. ---

Dodgers, Angels, Padres (Qualcomm and Petco), Giants (Candlestick), Mariners. One of the goals after I retire is to hit every park. Dodgers have the most games, since I’ve been seeing them since I was but a sprog. Padres next because the wife and I both love San Diego, and it’s actually easier and cheaper to catch a game at Petco than it is to see one at Chavez Ravine. ---

But that’s what summer road trips are for! Of course, I’d still suggest that anyone who has yet to make it to Oakland would be better off waiting until they build the A’s a new stadium. Even if it takes 25 years for that to happen, it would still be worth waiting. ---

Yankees - probably close to 200 - we’ve had partial season plan tickets since 1997. Mets - ten or so, only once at Citi Field Phillies - four or five, back when I was in college in Philly Angels - twice; used to go out to Orange County for business somewhat often. Dodgers, Mariners, Giants, Red Sox, Cubs, Jays - once each. ---

I have seen 18 different teams in their home parks, but only six in their current ones (Dodgers, Angels, Cubs, Red Sox, White Sox & A’s). ---

Not too surprisingly, the Marlins are tied for last place. There are usually more players on the field than spectators in the stands at their games. ---

I’ve seen both the Angels and Dodgers but like most Californians, I don’t usually hang around for extra innings.\* \*Extra innings being everything after the 7th 🙂 ---

Seven teams - Angels, Cubs, Indians, Mariners, Orioles, Red Sox, and Yankees. Baltimore (both Memorial Stadium and Camden Yards) is the only one I’ve been to more than once, though. I couldn’t put an accurate number on the games I’ve been to there, but I imagine it’s somewhere in the high double-digits. ---

Counted: Braves even though it was Atlanta Fulton County Stadium. Did not count the Nationals, even though I have attended Montreal Expo games at Jarry Park and 1 Washington Senator game at old RFK stadium Braves: Probably about 50 games (and about 5 Spring Training games) Cardinals, Mets, Yankees, Red Sox: 1 game apiece Expos: Probably about 20 games (all at Jarry Park) and about 5 Spring Training games. Senators: 1 game Edit…I read the OP more carefully before voting. I added the Nationals and the Texas Rangers. ---

I think I’ve been to see the Reds the most (about 8 times counting Riverfront and Great American), then the Red Sox and Astros about a half-dozen times apiece (the latter at the Astrodome, later [del]Enron[/del] Minute Maid). ---

Angels, A’s, Blue Jays, Brewers, Cardinals, Dodgers (2nd most, maybe 40-50), Indians (most, somewhere around 100), Mariners, Nationals, Orioles, Padres, Pirates, Reds (3rd most, maybe 20-30), Royals, and Tigers. ---

Yankees. I saw Roger Maris hit #61, plus the 1977 All-star game (I was on the field with the players during batting practice) and an ALCS game that year. Mets. Saw Sandy Konrad’s last start there (he got knocked out if the box) Red Sox. A couple of games in 1968. Cubs. The Mets were in town when I was visiting, so I took in a game. ---

29 of the 30. I’m on a mission. Only the Braves remain. I was able to get 2 new ones this summer, the Nationals and the Phillies. As for how many for each, here are my numbers. Some are approximations and are marked as such. Angels: 1 Astros: 2 (Astrodome’s final year, and Minute Maid Park) A’s: 10 Blue Jays: 1 _ **Braves: 0** _ (maybe next year?) Brewers: 1 Cardinals: 5 (approx) Cubs: 1 Diamondbacks: 1, opening day last year vs. the SF Giants, that was cool Dodgers: 1 Giants: 200 (approx) Indians: 1 Mariners: 1 Marlins: 1 Mets: 1 Nationals: 1 Orioles: 1 Padres: 2, first time was 1980 when I was in boot camp\*; San Diego Stadium, and Petco Phillies: 1 Pirates: 1 Rangers: 1 Rays: 1 Red Sox: 20 (approx) Reds: 1 Rockies: 1 - Game 3 of the 2007 World Series vs. Red Sox! Royals: 3 Tigers: 1 Twins: 1 White Sox: 2 Yankees: 10 (approx) For Red Sox and Yankees, it’s because I grew up in the northeast. Funny, but we never saw the Mets back then. - - that 1980 Padres game, when my platoon was close to graduating boot camp we attended a game one Sunday afternoon. Our DIs brought the entire platoon, and other platoons were there, and also Navy recruits were there too. We had 1 or 2 sections in the upper deck outfield. _ **The memorable part of this story is** _ that a beautiful, curvaceous gal in short Daisy Dukes and a skimpy bikini top sauntered over and walked on the walkway in front of our sections. She walked in front of the sections, turned around, and walked back. That’s all she did - walk across, then walk back. But, boy oh boy, for us guys having been locked up for three months, she was the hottest thing we’d seen since we left home for boot camp. That would have been April, 1980. We graduated 25 April 1980. In 1981 the stadium was renamed Jack Murphy. To this day I am convinced she was the girlfriend of a Marine and he talked her into doing that walk. Thank you, Marine, whoever and wherever you are. That was a great gift. ---

Nice work, Bullitt 🙂 I was reminded that I’ve been outside of the Mariners, Pirates and Giants stadiums while they were playing games. I didn’t get to, or mean to, see any of them. ---

Thanks, **ZipperJJ**. Of the stadiums I’ve been to, AT&T Park (Giants) is my favorite, PNC Park (Pirates) is my 2nd favorite, and Camden Yards (Os) and Comerica (Tigers) are tied for 3rd. Yes as a Giants fan I am biased, but trying to be as objective as I can I think AT&T is the best in all of baseball. It has great views and sightlines as you walk around the Promenade Deck. PNC’s views are pretty good, too. Fenway and Wrigley are definite shrines with their charm and long history, true. ---

Angels (once), Dodgers (innumerable times), and Orioles (once). ETA: I saw an Army-Navy game at Veterans’ Stadium, but never saw the Phillies play there. ---

I didn’t get to, or mean to, see any of them. I was walking down Lansdowne St. once during a Red Sox night game; that’s the street right behind the Green Monster. This was before they added the seats up there. I hear a big cheer, look up, and I see a ball come flying over the wall, lit up bright white against the dark sky. There’s a little parking garage on the other side of the street. I should have gone looking for the ball; I was the only one around. ---

Not really a huge sports fan but coming from the UK I do enjoy the atmosphere at a ballgame so I sometimes go to a game on my occasional visits: Mets - 1979 Mariners - twice in 1990 White Sox - 1992 Cubs - 1995 Padres - twice in 1996 Yankees - 2005 & 2009 Angels - 2008 I also saw the Memphis Red Birds in 2006 and I think I probably enjoyed this game most of all. Smaller more intimate ballpark with a great atmosphere.
