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."Jesus said to them, 'Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going into the kingdom of God ahead of you.'"Comment

It's not the Polo Grounds or the Baker Bowl or one of those really old- time stadiums, is it?"Jesus said to them, 'Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going into the kingdom of God ahead of you.'"Comment

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."Jesus said to them, 'Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going into the kingdom of God ahead of you.'"Comment

Crosley Field would be my next guess. At some point I'll hit all the possibilities."Jesus said to them, 'Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going into the kingdom of God ahead of you.'"Comment

Shibe Park is 3rd, home to the Athletics from 1909-1954 and Phillies from 1938-1970.Originally posted by Kevin Seitzer View Post---------------------------------------------

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---------------------------------------------
