Tiger Stadium
Comiskey Park
Municipal Stadium (Cleveland)

you got the first one. Tiger Stadium 1912-1999, over 11000 HR

Cleveland was 4th - 1932- 1993, 6664 HR

[Kevin Seitzer]

I honestly can't imagine what 2 and 3 would be. None of the other old stadiums have been around that long.

Unless Dodger Stadium has made it up the list by now. But in 1999 it wouldn't have been near the top.

I don't think Memorial Stadium in Baltimore was around long enough. Of the other old franchises in existence...Pittsburgh had Three Rivers and Cincinnati had Riverfront Stadium and Philly had Veterans Stadium, but none of them was around for really long. Atlanta moved from Milwaukee. St. Louis had had a team for a while, but not one stadium.

Yeah, the answer surprised me which is why I thought it was a good question

[Kevin Seitzer]

It's not the Polo Grounds or the Baker Bowl or one of those really old- time stadiums, is it?

[Kevin Seitzer]

Ebbets Field, etc.

For inactive stadiums Polo Grounds is 5th with 6660 HR

So

1) TIger Stadium
2) ??
3) ???
4) Cleveland
5) Polo Grounds

Not the Baker Bowl

[Kevin Seitzer]

Shibe Park or Forbes Field? They were both around longer than I realized.

If not those, then maybe Sportsman's Park, because I think it hosted both the Browns and Cardinals for a time.

[Kevin Seitzer]

Crosley Field would be my next guess. At some point I'll hit all the possibilities.

Shibe Park is 3rd, home to the Athletics from 1909-1954 and Phillies from 1938-1970.

Sportsman's Park was 2nd, as you noted it also hosted 2 teams, like Shibe Park.

[Kevin Seitzer]

Oh, and where did the Senators play...Griffith Park?

[The Feral Slasher]

I have this info from a book called "Take me out to the Ballpark" which i really enjoy. It was published in 2000 and has good info on all the old parks. I tried to find an updated list of career HRs on the internet and never was able to

[The Feral Slasher]

Oh, and where did the Senators play...Griffith Park?

I think so...Mickey Mantle hit a 565 foot shot there is I recall the legend

Griffith Stadium 1911-1961
