    The walk to the visitors' clubhouse under the stands after the game where you could see the rats feasting on dropped nacho remnants was the best!

    I’m amused that corporations spends millions of dollars to put their name on a stadium and many of us write “whatever the hell they call it today.”

    Not baseball-related, but I remember the first time I took the New York subway, I wound up waiting for a train on the bottom level at Grand Central Station. There were rats running along between the tracks, and my first thought was "imagine being the poor bastard who had to dig this hole."

    In fairness, Trump was talking about John McCain, not the Phillies' stadium.

    Like some others, it's a shame how few actual MLB parks I've been to, considering how much I like baseball, I've been to:

    All three parks in Houston (Colts Stadium, Astrodome and Minute Maid Park)
    Both parks in Kansas City (the old Municipal Stadium and Royals/Kauffman Stadium)
    Anaheim Stadium (we sat in the upper deck in rightfield, a section that no longer exists)
    Whatever they're calling the park in Arlington now (the newer one).
    Wrigley Field (sat in the top row upper deck down the RF line, which was actually a good vantage point)
    Saw an exhibition game, Yankees vs. Orioles, at the Louisiana Superdome (an awful venue for baseball).

    That's it.

    No question about that. For either sport.

    And an equally bad experience for concerts!

    In its last year of existence, I took my son's Cub Scout troop for a guided tour of the old Boston Garden. Nice suburban children many of whom had never even ridden the T before. Anyhow, the Bruins are shooting a commercial inside the arena so they have us wait with the guide in a hallway. Strolling down the hall comes a rat the size of next month's Derby winner. I cracked up laughing while the guide died of embarrassment. Kids, as kids will, were frightened and grossed out, but thought it was cool, too,
