54, history, tradition and pride should also be factors to judge a ballpark. Fenway & Yankee Stadium would be much higher.

Appeciate the article.

I could imagine his idiotic reply.

I'll read the comments about Yankee stadium and give you my perspective; over 40 years since I first went there and regurlarly for the past 20 years.

Right off the bat (pun) the author sat in the Bleachers. They are benches with no seat backs; there is no beer sold in that section; and they are the rudest of all Yankee fans, though clever and witty.

Ric,

everyone has their own opinion. I guess you love RFK since you live there now. The Trop is in a bad location for me because I live to the north. I would prefer it in Tampa or the northern burbs.

However, the location is good for those who live in the Bradenton, St. Pete and Sarasota areas so it depends on where one is coming from.

As I enjoy going to the beach at Passa-Grille before an evening ballgame I don't mind the location a bit.

Most gripes about the stadium tend to come from ex-Floridians or those who don't like indoor stadiums.
