Talks a lot about Camden Yards too: https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/the-white-sox-ballpark-in-chicago-that-never-was-and-could-have-changed-history/ I wonder if the White Sox will be looking for a new stadium in the near future. With the right design and location, they can really compete with the Cubs for relevancy in Chicago in the long run. Speaking of ugly backdrops and ball parks, can anyone tell me why designers put exit/entrances right behind home plate? Drives me f'n nuts to see all that commotion right behind the batter in game situations, Colorado and their Coors field is just one awful example. Always someone walking back and forth 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Digby 2,429 Posted August 30, 2018 How jarring, in a bad way, for the Marlins to go from their Players Weekend jerseys to their usual "White Sox washed with crayons" look. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SilverBullet1929 2,461 Posted August 30, 2018 Going back to that rumor about the Marlins dropping the orange and going to that light blue along with black and silver, check out the colors in this image sent in an email about upgrades to the ballpark experience. It's probably nothing but it is light blue, black and silver/white and it does look good... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SilverBullet1929 2,461 Posted August 30, 2018 Dinger hanging out there is what we call "cringe awesome," it's so bad that it's great. My team's color commentator once went off on a rant about Dinger, it was amazing. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We'll see how it goes. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Always get a kick out of that. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No kid is looking at that and begging daddy to take him to a game. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SilverBullet1929 2,461 Posted September 4, 2018 When does the 2019 MLB thread happen? When the first 2019 uniform change news comes out? I'm already excited for it. These threads become a fun journey for a full year. It's the reason I keep coming back to these boards. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
