jkrdevil Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 Well, if played any time my guess the venus would be Fenway, Wrigley, Yankee, Pac Bell, Camden, and Safeco.If played in march then it would be those southren cities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amare32 Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 It sounds like they're planning on playing it in the spring. There'd be locales in different parts of the world. In the US, Bank One Ballpark is the only one I'm sure is a strong candidate. Good weather, retractable roof if it should rain, a bunch of ballplayers already in town for the Cactus League.

jrodsep Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 They should have it in Atlanta, Houston, San Francisco, San Diego and LA. All great parks in great baseball cities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_cynic Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 World Series Head-to-Head Record: Arizona 1, New York 0Know that! Who really cares? We're not comparing the Diamondbacks to the Yankees and even if we were the Yankees outweigh the Diamondbacks by far. New York just has more of a international appeal than Phoenix. Now I'm assuming you're from the Phoenix area so it's probably your biased opinion that Phoenix should be considered first but let's get real.Are we talking about a host city that would host this event a majority of the time within the U.S.?

Cyclopsis Joe Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 Why not have it one in NY, one in Atlanta, one in SF, one in Seattle, and one in Kansas City?They aren't big baseball cities, and weather ain't always perfect for all of them..but it shows a certain regional flavor for each that would really show what america is..especially with all those Japanese tourists.

the_cynic Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 Well it's kind of a question like "Would you rather hold the World's Fair in the world famous NYC or Phoenix a city that's out in the middle of the desert and doesn't have much international appeal". The choice is quite obvious to me and I would assume it would be for the rest of the world. I'm not knocking down Phoenix because I happen to like the city but I have to get real.

See Red Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 People, people, people. They should have games in Coors Field in Denver, Colorado. Because I'd kinda wanna go to a game and I'd be unable to if there were no games in Denver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well a baseball tournament in New York in February/March would be just plain stupid.Unless you like baseball in the snow.I'm thinking it would be a World Cup of Hockey type scenerio, with two pools... games at the two Japanese Domes, and games at Dodger Stadium/SBC Park. --- Chris Creamer Founder/Editor, SportsLogos.Net  "The Mothership" • News • Facebook • X/Twitter • Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habsfannova Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 I think they should have the Asian/Pacific group have games at the Tokyo dome or a stadium there...and the Euros and Canada at SkyDome. But, elimination round should be in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_cynic Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 Well a baseball tournament in New York in February/March would be just plain stupid. True but that's if they are played then.

amare32 Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 Well a baseball tournament in New York in February/March would be just plain stupid. True but that's if they are played then. Assuming it's going to be played in North America, I think spring is the only time that makes sense. If you do it in the summer you're interrupting the regular season. If you do it in the fall, you're interrupting the playoffs or, at best, you're gonna have most of the players fatigued/injured/ready for vacation, in which event you won't get any turnout. If you want to do it in the winter time you'd have to do it in domes or warm weather cities only.If and when it happens, the World Cup of Baseball would need to be a springtime event. And that makes PHX a natural locale, for all the reasons I stated above. I'm not saying it's the most cosmopolitan city in the world, but for these purposes it makes a ton of sense. Besides, as a Diamondbacks season ticket holder (oh, joy) I'd prolly get first dibs on tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
