After working a game in San Diego for ESPN, I stopped by Anaheim Stadium on my way home on June 12, 1991 to watch and photograph former teammates from the Brewers and the Angels. Here's a look at the best shots from that game.

St. Louis is an independent city and inland port in the U.S. state of Missouri. It is situated along the western bank of the Mississippi River, which marks Missouri's border with Illinois. The Missouri River merges with the Mississippi River just north of the city. These two rivers combined form the fourth longest river system in the world. The city had an estimated 2017 population of 308,626 and is the cultural and economic center of the St. Louis metropolitan area (home to nearly 3,000,000 people), which is the largest metropolitan area in Missouri, the second-largest in Illinois (after Chicago), and the 22nd-largest in the United States.
Before European settlement, the area was a regional center of Native American Mississippian culture. The city of St. Louis was founded in 1764 by French fur traders Pierre Laclède and Auguste Chouteau, and named after Louis IX of France. In 1764, following France's defeat in the Seven Years' War, the area was ceded to Spain and retroceded back to France in 1800. In 1803, the United States acquired the territory as part of the Louisiana Purchase. During the 19th century, St. Louis became a major port on the Mississippi River; at the time of the 1870 Census it was the fourth-largest city in the country. It separated from St. Louis County in 1877, becoming an independent city and limiting its own political boundaries. In 1904, it hosted the Louisiana Purchase Exposition and the Summer Olympics.
The economy of metropolitan St. Louis relies on service, manufacturing, trade, transportation of goods, and tourism. Its metro area is home to major corporations, including Anheuser-Busch, Express Scripts, Centene, Boeing Defense, Emerson, Energizer, Panera, Enterprise, Peabody Energy, Ameren, Post Holdings, Monsanto, Edward Jones, Go Jet, Purina and Sigma-Aldrich. Nine of the ten Fortune 500 companies based in Missouri are located within the St. Louis metropolitan area. The city has also become known for its growing medical, pharmaceutical, and research presence due to institutions such as Washington University in St. Louis and Barnes-Jewish Hospital. St. Louis has two professional sports teams: the St. Louis Cardinals of Major League Baseball and the St. Louis Blues of the National Hockey League. One of the city's iconic sights is the 630-foot (192 m) tall Gateway Arch in the downtown area.

Saint Louis Ballpark Village (BPV) is a dining and entertainment district in downtown St. Louis, Missouri, owned by the investment group that controls the St. Louis Cardinals, the city's professional baseball team. Located on the 200 and 300 blocks of Clark Street, it sits across the street from and is meant to complement Busch Stadium, the team's home field, on the site of the demolished Busch Memorial Stadium.
First proposed in the late 1990s, the development is being executed in two phases by primary developer Cordish Company of Baltimore, Maryland. The first phase, opened before the start of the 2014 Major League Baseball season, is a $100 million, 150,000-square-foot (14,000 m2) facility that includes bars, restaurants — several with a view onto the field — events venues, 720 parking spaces, and the Cardinals Hall of Fame and Museum. Construction is underway on a second phase, which is to include an apartment building, a hotel, and other facilities.
A view of the ballpark's wonderful and iconic scoreboard...the scores during games are still presented via people inside the box changing the numbers by hand.

I've lived in Wrigleyille over 25 years, and until today I had never taken their guided tour of the park. I decided it was something I wanted to do before the planned "renovation" that will turn the park and its immediate surroundings into a nightmare of flashing LED advertising signage; I wanted to have an intimate time with it while it still has the gentle charm that has always made games there a special experience. So I went on the tour...it was very fun and informative, but not the best photo opportunity because the group moves fairly quickly and you are not permitted to stray. Ah well :-)
Taken on August 6, 1988 before the White Sox played the Angels. There have been numerous changes with both the names of the team and the ballpark since these pictures were taken.

Taken on May 4 or 5, 1988 prior to the White Sox/Red Sox game @ Fenway Park. There were so many angles to choose so I decided to capture as many as I could. Because of the changes at Fenway over the years, I listed this group of photos in "Lost Ballparks".
This image is a composite of two pictures previously appearing in this album.
Enjoy!

Taken during the Chicago White Sox early batting practice before a game against the Detroit Tigers @ Tiger Stadium on June 1, 1988. I'm standing in front of the last seat in the back row by the scoreboard in left-center field.
Globe Life Park, Ameriquest Field, the Ballpark at Arlington, it's all the same. At major league ballparks behind home plate from the nose bleeds presents these type of panoramic views.

The upper deck has the least expensive seats, but it gives the best view to see the entire stadium.

On a trip to Southern California in early July, my wife and I had an opportunity to visit Anaheim Stadium. With cameras in hand, we revisited a ballpark that I haven't seen for nearly twenty years and my wife hadn't visited for thirty years. Our thanks to the Angels staff for their hospitality.

Fenway Park is located near Kenmore Square in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. Located at 4 Yawkey Way, it has served as the home ballpark of the Boston Red Sox baseball club since it opened in 1912, and is the oldest Major League Baseball stadium currently in use. It is the only one of the original standards ballparks that is still in use. It is also the oldest venue used by a professional sports team in the United States.
Because of the ballpark's age and constrained location in an urban neighborhood next to Boston University's large campus, the park has had many renovations and additions over the years not initially envisioned, resulting in unique, quirky features, including "the Triangle", "Pesky's Pole", and most notably the famous Green Monster in left field. Fenway Park is renowned for hosting dedicated Red Sox fans, collectively called "Red Sox Nation". Every Red Sox home game since May 15, 2003, has sold out; in 2008, the park sold out its 456th consecutive Red Sox game, breaking a Major League record.

Taken from the upper deck in RF of Cleveland's Municipal Stadium on May 17, 1988. Fellow lefty pitcher Dave LaPoint and myself decided to enjoy a photo safari on a cloudy, overcast day around the far reaches of the ballpark.

This picture was taken from the warning track at the fence on the LF foul line.
Taken before a game with the Chicago White Sox on May 7, 1988. Two days later, I won my 200th career game.
The original picture was taken from the very last seat in the upper deck in RF. Some who remember the Miller Lite commercial would refer to this location as the "Uecker seats."

From my first Giants home game this past summer. It makes it 10x more special since I saw the same team that just came back from being down 0-2 against the Reds. Check out a full blog from the game, HERE.

Every now and then I get the urge to create a tilt shift photo. This was a really great ballpark, one of the nicest I have been to. I created the photo using Perfect Photo Suite 8, trying out the demo, not totally sold on it yet though.
Not a great shot, but one for the records. I have been taking a picture of the redevelopment of the East stand before the start of each home game. This was taken on the 16th of September 2014, and the Cobblers substitutes can be seen warming up before the game against Hartlepool. Despite going a goal down with just over a minute played, the Cobblers went on to win 5-1. With more results like that, fans will come flocking back to Sixfields, and the extra 12 seat capacity in the new stand will come in very useful!!

I swear food like fries, chicken tenders, and hotdogs taste way better at a ballpark. Even though I sat at the nose bleed seats I like the view of the whole field. I went to the game with most of my close guy friends and even though we lost I still had a great time.

What he lacks in size Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia brings in determination. He has just homered to left and is rounding third base. He is going past Minnesota third baseman Miguel Sano who is nearly twice his size.

Marlins Ballpark is a baseball park currently under construction in Miami, Florida. Upon completion it will become the new home of the Florida Marlins Major League Baseball team, who will be renamed the Miami Marlins to coincide with the opening of the new stadium. It is being constructed about 2 miles west of Downtown.Construction is scheduled for completion March 2012, in time for the 2012 Major League Baseball season. The stadium has a retractable roof. With a planned seating capacity of 37,000. And guess what this new toy is expected to cost more than half a billion dollars.

We took a Fenway Park tour on the 100th anniversary of Fenway Park, on our last day in Boston. Fenway Park is a baseball park in Boston, Massachusetts, located at 4 Yawkey Way near Kenmore Square. It has been the home of the Boston Red Sox Major League Baseball team since it opened in 1912 and it is the oldest ballpark in MLB.
Because of its age and constrained location in Boston's dense Fenway–Kenmore neighborhood, the park has been renovated or expanded many times, resulting in unique, quirky features including "The Triangle", "Pesky's Pole", and most notably the famous Green Monster in left field. It is the fourth smallest among MLB ballparks by seating capacity, second smallest by total capacity, and one of seven that cannot accommodate at least 40,000 spectators.
Fenway has hosted ten World Series, first the 1912 World Series in its inaugural season and most recently the 2013 World Series.
