Ballparks (updated 3/30)
Here are the MLB ballparks I've seen a game at in chronological order:
1. Busch Stadium (now a parking lot)
2. Tiger Stadium (now vacant)
3. Anaheim Stadium (now remodeled)
4. Arlington Stadium (now a parking lot)
5. The Ballpark at Arlington
6. Turner Field
Here are the minor league ballparks I've been to in chronological order (I'm going by the team names because I don't know the names of all the stadiums):
1. Columbus, GA Astros (AA)- has since been rebuilt
2. Midland Angels (AA) - has since been replaced
3. Johnson City, TN Cardinals (A)
4. Kingsport, TN Mets (A)
5. Jacksonville, FL Suns (AA) - Wolfson Stadium, now a parking lot
6. Jacksonville, FL Suns (AA) - The Baseball Grounds of Jacksonville
7. Vero Beach (FL) Dogders (A) - Holman Stadium (for a Spring Training game)
Ballparks (major and minor) I hope to someday visit:
1. The New Busch Stadium - Have tickets for August 1st against the Phillies
2. Knoxville Smokies - Smokies Park in Sevierville, TN; Cardinals AA affiliate
3. Memphis Redbirds - AutoZone Park; Cardinals AAA affiliate; many say that this is the best minor league park around.
4. Wrigley Field - OK, the truth be known, this is probably very near the top of the list, but let's just say we won't rank these in order of importance!
5. Fenway Park - Dad's already been there and I'm pretty ticked that he didn't take me! He didn't even get me a t-shirt.
6. Roger Dean Stadium - Spring training ballpark for the Cards.
7. Dodger Stadium
8. Camden Yards
9. Jacobs Field
10. Any and every minor league stadium I can get near. MLB is great; but nothing can beat the experience, ambience, atmosphere, price, proximity to the action, purity of the game, of the minor leagues. OK, spring training is close.

Nice, Brett. Opening day is almost here. Can you feel it coming?
Oh yeah! Do I ever! One of the greatest sports times of the year:
Final Four (April 1,3)
Opening Day (April 2)
The Masters (April 3-9)
Can it get any better?
Hmmm...good content for a post!
