| The only MLB park I've been to is Wrigley. It was quite an experience. My dad and I were lucky enough to go in 97, the year before Harry Caray died and Sammy Sosa exploded (not literally  ). I'd love to go to Pac Bell Park and Yankee Stadium (though I hate the Yanks). |

The stadium is 2 minutes away from my house, which means I'll get to see a bunch of Rangers spring training games - just walk over and see a game. That will be fun.
It's amazing though - there was a 2 hour line to get tickets for the games - and they were only spring training. Guess I'll have to get mine from scalpers or something.

| "LOL maybe thats why you're ExPaws and not Paws."
Actually, part of the reason is because I stood up for my faith, went to church on Sunday (which got me to the park late), and challenged a "sensitivity course" because a company newslatter ran a "Red Wings Prayer" that denigrated the Lord's Prayer...
And I also got a better salary being hired by Mike Veeck and the St. Paul Saints. Go figure, an independant team pays more for a mascot than an MLB team. |

| I've only been to The Ballpark in Arlington, Wrigley, and the Astrodome. Wrigley is my favorite, I think. |

| Speaking of baseball parks, today I went to the new Surprise Stadium in Arizona and saw the Rangers vs. Royals in suite level seats. That was incredible!
