0:22 fun fact about Camden Yard's warehouse: they built the stadium around the warehouse (which was built in the late 1800s) and there are little disc shaped placards in the concrete on Eutaw St (the patio-like area between the stadium and the warehouse) describing when and who hit each of those home runs balls. it's a beautiful park!
debjoy12 thank you I’m a O’s fan and know a lot of history on the warehouse. If I remember it had a area where trains came outside it idk one thing if I wasn’t right I forgot. :/ also bad English
Alot of these aren’t stupid and it gives a uniqueness to the field. the worst has to be the statues in old yankee stadium that’s just stupid and dangerous at same time
@@charityquill4965 Those windows are almost never hit. You'd have to hit a 500 or so foot home run. They are deep in centre field over 5 stories above the field
The fountains at the Royals stadium actually make sense, since Kansas City is nicknamed the “City of Fountains” for having the most working fountains in the world (more than Paris and even Rome).
It’s these areas that really add to the greatness of baseball. The stadiums of baseball are cool in that they don’t all have to have the exact same dimensions and features like in other sports, which really makes it unique
I think of "weird" as being things that affect play: things like the Camden Yards warehouse, the Kansas City fountains, the Houston train, and the SF bay are picturesque, but not really weird: they don't change the game. Things like the Wrigley ivy, the Green Monster, Tal's hill, and the Tampa catwalks really do affect play, and are part of what makes baseball so interesting: players don't have to deal with ground rules or little quirks on basketball courts, hockey rinks, and football fields.
Haha that sounds awesome. The only redeeming thing we have at the oakland Coliseum is a bunch of new bars and mount davis for some high altitude when it gets warm.
I absolutely love oddities with baseball fields. It should be a requirement, but no hills!! I played college baseball and there was this one field we played at where right field all the way to center field was a big ass hill. I'm talking at the fence it was at least 20ft higher than the rest of the field. When people told me about it before I actually saw it I was just thinking it was a pretty good incline from the infield to the fence, but nope it was very high LOL!!
Back before the "Monster Seats" went in at Fenway, righties with pop used to hit balls out to the Mass Pike (Massachusetts Turnpike, for you non-New Englanders) from time to time. I seem to remember Rice and Evans each doing it a couple times.
Well, if you're gonna include the Allegheny and SF Bay, you might as well include the Wrigley Field rooftops (before the renovation, of course, with Kingman's blast down the Waveland side street and Glenallen Hill hitting one onto the roof across Waveland...)
One of the coolest things I've ever seen having been to at least 20 MLB stadiums, was seeing a home run hit at Wrigley and ending up on the street. It's such a rare occurrence nowadays and I was lucky enough to witness it in person.
0:25 grriiiiffyyyyyy 2:08 is that the kingdome if so hay look one of the og Seattle Mariners parks and I think the Seahawks played there to I wouldn’t know I don’t follow football as much as I do baseball and hockey 2:57 hay look the Seattle mariners
The Monument footage almost gave me a heart attack from laughing! The guy is trying to field the ball without hurting the statues directly in his way. Now that's baseball!
I’ve been to Camden yards before. That home run has a plaque, and I saw it it’s my own eyes. It’s a really cool place to watch a game. I highly suggest going there
awesome video really. What about Shea bridge in Citi Field? Can you do a part 3? For the home run apple in Citi Field you could've done one of the times Travis d'Arnaud had experiences with the apple, like his playoff bomb of the apple or the time when it didn't come up when he hit a dinger.
That’s because the Twins cheated. By turning on/off the air conditioners depending on which team batted. This allowed air to blow in toward the plate when it was on. They also piped in noise through the loud speakers making it seam the crowd was louder than it was. They cranked it up, when visiting team was batting. They cheated at home. X players talk about it today. It was no secret then either.
Ebbets Field had two weird home run areas: the left field foul line began as a bannister (painted white) in the stands that ran to the pole which was many rows up. In centerfield, there was a fenced-off area known as "the enclosure." A ball dropped into this triangle was ruled a home run.
Took a tour of camden yards a couple years ago. They put all shatter proof glass in the old train station/warehouse building, thinking the players would break the windows. That HR right there during the HR derby is the ONLY one to ever hit the building. All other HR's land on Eutaw street.
I’m not so sure on why the Crawford Box is a “weird area”? It’s amazing! The seating is perfect. Nothing beats it. Minute Maid is definitely the best stadium in all of baseball and we have the greatest team.
It still blows me away that they once had Concrete Monuments that look like Tombstones in the f--ing field at Yankee stadium, talk about a deathwish serious injury waiting to happen
The clip at 2:22 is from the 1979 All-Star game played in the air-conditioned Kingdome in Seattle. The temperature that day reached 96°; the day before it was 98°.
I remember when Bank One Ballpark first opened the pool was mocked a lot by the media and announcers for the opposing teams as a ridiculous gimmick. They didn't understand that it was supposed to represent part of Arizona culture, given the vast amount of swimming pools we have here.
Astros also have an actual train that is operated by a conductor, Ofc the crawford boxes, they had the raised sloped portion of field for awhile that was hilarious to watch people try to run up on without noticing it, and then they changed it to the greenery astros symbol.
That was the color of Pittsburgh Pirates at the time. Back in those days, some teams had much brighter uniforms than the blanks white or very light grey ones that makes many teams look the same.
Do League Park in Cleveland, it’s where the Indians played way back. It’s got a right field wall taller than the green monster and a center field of 460. They just recently remade the field and made a museum there! It’s quite neat!
The cutout behind/beside it is... and after showing the weird bits of field like the triple alley in San Fran in part 1 and the Fenway triangle here, when it came up, I thought he was gonna show some of the weird catches made kinda behind that corner of the wall below the Crawford Boxes.
When the Pirates played at Forbes Field, after batting practice, they would roll the batting cage across the field and just leave it on the actual playing field in center field against the fence. It stayed there during the game.
1:23 the Crosley field replica, is at a set of fields and I played at the fields next to it. The scoreboard was actually designed by my friends great grandpa
You mentioned the warehouse at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, in Baltimore. But, there is another weird there you didn't mention. It's the right field corner, right where the grounds crew equipment gate is located. That spot is a rather tricky place, in the park.
I’m a Yankees fan but I live much closer to Citi Field. You should get an extra run if you hit a home run into the apple haha. That’s really hard to do.
Cletus Moloney its just ivy growing on the wall behind centerfield. From the other side you can walk behind them and see the Phillies HOF plaques and beyond that is the concourse between LF and RF stands
As someone who lives near Pittsburgh and has been to many, many Pirate games over the years at PNC Park…I can confirm that the Allegheny River is not inside the ballpark lol
Back before PNC Park, and before Three Rivers Stadium, the Pirates played in Forbes Field. Center field was so deep there (442 to straightaway CF, but 457 a little bit toward Left Center), that they stored the batting cage up against the wall out there, and it very, very rarely came into play. I will admit that I didn't not see Part 1. However, if you showed the Allegheny River just behind RCF in PNC Park, what about McCovey Cove in San Francisco? Or was that in Part 1?
Speaking of old Tiger Stadium, what about the roof? Being a kid back in the early 90's was fun during the summer because kids here in Detroit raced home from school to see if Cecil Fielder hit yet another home run onto or over the roof. In fact, that could be a video unto itself: Tiger Stadium roofshots!
Coors centerfield looks like a nice place to go camping
They should sell picnic tickets in this area.
Yeah
Represents Colorado very well.
Ya
Also fountains go off when a home run is hit so it looks cool with the trees
I actually like the royals fountains, the coors woods, and the angels rock pile; they're unique
Royals fountains are my favorite and wanna know why? It’s tears from 2014 lol go giants
Every single stadium has its unique places
i agree i like the coors woods
@@CollinSR25 the rockies 😂 imma cards fan tho

Oriole Park - The only good thing the Orioles will have for the next century.
@@jasonch4196 don't say such hurtful, truthful things so early in the morning 😂😂😂
The wear house is also a hotel for people for the game they have a nice Orioles restaurant and shop in it
It sure is!
Alot of these aren’t stupid and it gives a uniqueness to the field. the worst has to be the statues in old yankee stadium that’s just stupid and dangerous at same time
shaserdeses now up to this day stadiums are really stupid and boring and plain!
The marlins one was stupid
@@pz20jacobcouttsrogue most of the stadiums shown here haven’t t changed since.... Unless you think having dangerous items in the field is decoration
Yeah the royals water thing and the coors field woods are good
The monuments were stupid because they were dangerous and interfered with the game
A friend of mine had stayed in the Rogers Center hotel. You're required to keep the clothes on during the ball game for obvious reasons.
Same my friend did that as well
well goddamnit i don't wanna go anymore
what are the reasons?
Wack
@@thestretchman3466 I mean, you wouldn't want a bunch of people seeing your baseballs, would you?
Dear god the monuments on the field of play was a terrible idea.
PantsofVance r
ikr like wtf
Who approved this?!
Damn that's crazy when was this? I'm only 27 so im assuming it would have been gone before my time?
PantsofVance it looked really stupid too. Guess they had to do something to spice up that boring, plain ass ballpark
Imagine having a night of binge drinking and waking up at 2:15PM to a game in the 3rd inning
😅😅👍
That would be so cool 🍻
The Coors Field trees are actually really cool, each tree is a different Colorado Native tree
if i tweren't a cubs fan i'd be a rocks fan.
No Reason I did not know that!
That’s cool
No Reason I live in Colorado
Captain Rex ok?
You can't argue that some of the things inside ball parks are pretty cool. Like the rock pile in Angles stadium
I'm just wondering how many times a season they have to repair a window because of hits from a baseball
Weird doesn't mean bad. It can be cool. Except for that monuments on the field. Just WTF
The T-10 that was the only one where I thought the concept and implementation were horrible ideas.
The video isn't titled bad areas inside ballparks. It's titled weird areas. Weird isn't bad. It's interesting.

Really? I didn't know that
I've lived in Mid Missouri for 47 years and never heard that.WOW.Tnx for the info.👍
I love walking into PNC Park and seeing an enormous river running through the field. What a great feature to have inside the ballpark
Ikr my shoes are always wet after going to a game cause it’s just such a pain!😂😂👌
I remember when Garret Jones hit one into the river and it hit a guy on a canoe.
If the ball can reach it, it's part of the park.
zvczvcvzxcv i disagree. The ballpark is the stadium. If you go by that logic then for the one stadium. The fairway is part of that ballpark....
Riley Rud 😂😂😂
It’s these areas that really add to the greatness of baseball. The stadiums of baseball are cool in that they don’t all have to have the exact same dimensions and features like in other sports, which really makes it unique

Agree I hope that's a part of baseball that never goes away.
On a hot day standing behind the fountains it the best because you get misted and its amazing
Haha that sounds awesome. The only redeeming thing we have at the oakland Coliseum is a bunch of new bars and mount davis for some high altitude when it gets warm.
I love how unique these stadiums are, makes me want to visit all of them
0:47 the mets big apple isnt weird its cool and actually makes sense
When he means weird he means unique
I mean it goes along with one of nyc,s nicknames
Lol there was a hotel. I wanna stay there 😂😂😂
Rowdy Jr. I wonder how expensive exactly.
I’ve been. Super expensive but absolutely amazing.
Mlg Ryan I've been there. It's really expensive though.
The rooms overlooking the field have got to start at certainly no less than 600 bucks a night. During the *offseason.*
Ruben T No! In the off-season they're about $200 Canadian a night - which is cheaper than most of the downtown hotels in Toronto.
"Near the home run sculpture!" 0:15 lol
yea the thing lights up and moves im pretty sure

False.
"Clear the deck!" Is officially my favorite ever baseball commentary line.
Kaufmann’s fountains are awesome. One of my favorite ballparks to visit.
Well, if you're gonna include the Allegheny and SF Bay, you might as well include the Wrigley Field rooftops (before the renovation, of course, with Kingman's blast down the Waveland side street and Glenallen Hill hitting one onto the roof across Waveland...)
The good old days when Fernandez was still a pitcher 😭😭
*When Fernandez was still alive
The guy in the thumbnail looks like "Hey, sorry I'm late guys! How are we doing so far?"
That basically describes Fernando Rodneys time with the Mariners
ClearSky Productions looks like when the dude came out of the field in benchwarmers to pitch lmao
Imagine you’re sleeping in that hotel and Aaron Judge hits a home run ball in the room.
definetly want to visit the Clevelander
You'll be the first one
I went to a few games last Summer and watched from the Clevelander. It's one of the best ways to watch a game.

Most of those ballpark characteristics are pretty cool beside the Yankees monuments being in centerfield , that weird fence, and speakers in the dome
4:10 I was at that game, I sat right behind the nationals dugout
I think here in Houston is the coolest! We got a freaking train for every home run we get!
