I've not been to New York, but I did go to Fenway, and it was great to visit, if not the best place to see a baseball game compared to newer stadiums. Safeco in Seattle is great (the Mariners are my team), but the most beautiful I've seen so far has got to be San Francisco's. The view on a good night is unmatched.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10070278104646895235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-49985543902717054212015-06-29T10:44:38.850-04:002015-06-29T10:44:38.850-04:00I've only been to one baseball game and it was...I've only been to one baseball game and it was when I was a kid.
