This is an experiment and journey using Google Earth in which I locate old MLB stadiums that have long since been demolished or completely altered for other sports. I try to match up the exact location of the stadium and see what is there now instead. I hope you enjoy this video - please like and subscribe...

If you stop it just right at about 2:10 you can get an overlay of the ballpark and the current lay out, pretty cool. Dalton Ave runs from the scoreboard to the light standard on the right field line. You can also I-75 where the cars are parked over the outfield fence.

0:08 Brings back memories of going to games with my grandmother - biggest baseball fan I’ve ever known. She kept a scorecard for every Pirate game she listened to on the radio, and that was about every game, for decades. The earliest games were at Forbes Field, though most were at Three Rivers. I took her to a game at PNC Park, Lexus Club behind home plate, for her 100th birthday. Forbes’ home plate is still in the lobby of the Pitt Business School, and the segment of the left field fence cleared by Maz’s 1960 WS winner is still up across the parking lot. Folks gather there every year to listen to Game 7.

Forbes Field is inaccurate. Posvar and Lawrence Halls are on the footprint but Barco was built before the Old Grey Lady was demolished. Also. Roberto and Vera Clemente Drive goes through where the outfield once stood. The center field wall still exists and a line of brick shows where the rest of the right field wall stood.

@gsquare6382 9 ай бұрын

You are absolutely correct! I thought I was losing my mind. It's WAAAAY off. Players stayed at the Schenley hotel across from the field and according to the drawing it would have been in left field. Also you can find a picture of Forbes field and Hillman library coexisting.

its why people like the "retro" ones I feel, they have the vibe of the old stadium. But the modern engineering to allow for things like a pillarless upper deck. Well also the retro stadiums moved baseball back towards its city, Where as lots of the multi-purpose ones were stuck off outside the city limits with no good accessibility.

I remember that the 49ers finished a close second to the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC West, so the Seahwaks had home field advantage throughout the playoffs. The divisional round, the Niners won their game, and the Seahawks hosted the New Orleans Saints and narrowly defeated them. Had the 'Aints prevailed, then the NFC Title Game in January 2014 would have been held at Candlestick. That would have been the grandest of "send off" for an old, decaying stadium! My bro-in-law said that no matter what it cost to get two scalped tickets, we were GOING if that game had been played at the "Stick".

A shame these iconic ballparks of the past are no longer standing, but at least I got to see a few games at the old Comiskey Park before she was leveled to the ground and made into a parking lot for the new Comiskey Park. And if cheap assed Jerry Reinsdorf has his way, the Sox'll either move to the suburbs, or out of Chicago entirely. I pray that won't happen, and he'll be gone, and the White Sox will have new ownership.

No reason for Candlestick to be torn down and have Levi's built in Santa Clara. At least, with the closing of Bay Meadows, the 49ers could have built a stadium on that site in San Mateo. Ironically San Francisco was turned down for the 2024 Olympics. The plan was to build a temporary stadium about a mile away from Candlestick on the inland side of US 101 in what is now an industrial wasteland. I figure the Olympic pickers told themselves this: "WTF, they just tore down a stadium that could have been converted to American football/soccer/rugby/track and field events!"

The old ballparks seemed to last about as long as an average human lifespan. My fond memories are of Comiskey Park in Chicago. Then I grew up and realized what a waste of time and money it is to sit and watch multi-millionaires play a game. Yeah, they're good at it. But Comiskey's highest price in 1960 was $3. A gallon of milk on average cost about 30 cents in 1960, and now it's a little more than $4, or about 13 times higher. 13 times that $3 1960 ticket price is about $40. Cubs average price now is $72. Something doesn't smell right about baseball. It's money ball, and not worth it anymore.
