Yeah, I'm a baseball nut. I also love the ballparks, and I consider myself an aficionado. I've seen over 2,000 professional baseball games in 54 MLB parks and 123 minor league venues.
I lived in Boston for over 20 years, and I continue to be a die-hard Red Sox fan, as well as a card-carrying member of Red Sox Nation.
Now back in Denver again – I was born 12 blocks from Coors Field – I also follow the Rockies. I've grown fond of them and I'm now a genuine fan, but my relationship with them isn't yet the same deep emotional and cultural investment I developed with the BoSox, but stay tuned.
I consider myself a baseball purist, and I loathe interleague play and the DH.
I've never worn a tie to a ball game.

Douglas,
I just checked out the "relics" section and enjoyed it. It's nice to have a separate section just for the past. I've seen games in four of your relics, Mile High, Comiskey, Busch and County Stadium.
I did notice a couple of errors in the relics section. Each caption under each photo is one hyperlink, and includes the entire caption. Well, the caption for Fulton County Stadium is two hyperlinks, "Fulton County Stadium" and "Atlanta, CA" being separate links. And, each of these take you to the Arlington Stadium photo layout. The Fulton County Stadium photo itself links just fine. Check it out.
Hi, Steve -
Yikes! I try to check everything, but I sometimes just get too close to it to see my own mistakes. Thanks for letting me know. Should be correct now.
Thanks again for being a loyal reader, and for your great feedback.
Best,
Douglas
