	Interesting to me that Ruth holds the record for the Polo Grounds but not Yankee Stadium

	johnlk:	Jul 19th, 2010 at 14:47 GMT	1 point
	Where's the Vet?

	devilsfan15:	Jul 19th, 2010 at 16:02 GMT	0 points
	I would have done better, but I refuse to learn the corporate sponsered names of the stadiums. I had no idea which parks were AT&T, Progressive, etc.

	Morbo:	Jul 19th, 2010 at 16:18 GMT	1 point
	Odd that Jimmie Foxx shares the distinction of having the record at two parks with another all-time great like Richie Sexson.

	Morbo:	Jul 19th, 2010 at 16:20 GMT	3 points
	This quiz is great as-is, but like johnlk suggested there are plenty of other great old parks you could add to it. The Vet, Memorial Stadium in Baltimore, Three Rivers Stadium, Riverfront and the old Commiskey Park, to name just a few.

	Etheridge2:	Jul 19th, 2010 at 16:22 GMT	2 points
	What an interesting quiz, would love to see more stadiums added. County, The Vet, Threee Rivers, etc... I missed 3 but two of them were Citi Field and Target Field, The other was Kaufmann damned royals...I was happiest pulling the Metrodome guy out of my ass in the final minute.

	rk559:	Jul 19th, 2010 at 16:41 GMT	1 point
	I would love to add more parks, but it's a lot of research. Frank Robinson holds the Memorial Stadium record with 27. Willing to bet it's Schmidt for the Vet and Stargell for Three Rivers.. may look later.

	modestmouse:	Jul 19th, 2010 at 18:10 GMT	3 points
	Why limit the quiz to one answer box at a time? Its not like there are a ton of repeat answers.

	rk559:	Jul 19th, 2010 at 18:41 GMT	2 points
	Of course you can always argue to remove answer-in-order, but on a quiz like this it is essential... how many people would guess Ruth for Yankee Stadium and get Polo Grounds? or guess Dunn for Nationals Park and get Great American, too? Griffey, Foxx, Sexson, Rodriguez, Gonzalez, Guerrero, etc. all present "problems" for accurate results without answer-in-order. Consider it a necessary evil.

	cocky:	Jul 20th, 2010 at 02:42 GMT	2 points
	Why are there two differant answers for the Polo Grounds?

	Real_Name:	Jul 20th, 2010 at 03:11 GMT	2 points
	I like having to guess them in order. Good reasoning, rk...

	idledandy:	Jul 20th, 2010 at 03:22 GMT	0 points
	I had no idea what Progressive and Sun Life were, either. I refuse to keep up with ever-changing corporate names. The Marlins play at Joe Robbie. The Indians play at the Jake. Period.

	rk559:	Jul 20th, 2010 at 03:27 GMT	1 point
	Cocky, thanks for asking: Ruth holds the record with 32 but he did it with the Yankees, who are not normally associated with the Polo Grounds, so I'm also accepting Mize, of the NY Giants, who, I assume, more people would guess. It's only fair. And thank you, Real, although I know we are in the minority.

	rk559:	Jul 20th, 2010 at 03:34 GMT	1 point
	As for park names, I don't hear anyone complaining about the extra millions naming rights bring to the team to sign better players, lower ticket prices, improve amenities... keeping up with "ever-changing" names is not as difficult as it is made out to be (with the possible exception of the Marlins). You don't have to like Progressive, but it's not a travesty to acknowledge it.

	Outstanding quiz. Thanks for the time that went into this one. Another well done quiz, rk! % sporcs & a nomination!

	Bonds hitting 37 homers at AT&T Park is ridiculous. Granted, he was pharmaceutically enhanced, but when you consider the fact that the visiting teams that year hit just 49 home runs all season... Man was he dominant.
