American League Ballparks
What would happen if your favorite player was hitting cleanup in Jacobs Field? How far was that left-field poke your shortstop just hit? Could my favorite slugger clear the center field wall in SAFECO Field?
This page is a simple statistical breakdown of each current American League stadium so you can view ballpark data in an easy to understand chart. |

"We're starting new history over. I just think all the games that have been played and all the things that have gone into the legacy of being in Yankee Stadium, I think that's the best part about being able to start this new stadium. It's starting those new moments and new long-lasting impressions that the stadium can bring." - New York Yankees Pitcher Joba Chamberlain on MLB.com (Bryan Hoch, 05/03/09)
