What’s your count at? I’ve been to 21 of the current MLB stadiums.

Only 13 of 30 current with 4 no longer around (Jack Murphy, Candlestick, Arlington, Coliseum).

I only go about once a year so this is a very slow process.

I’ve been to two that are no longs in use (Joe Robbie, and Turner Field).

One a year is close to my pace as well. It’s been a fun journey.

Gotcha beat, I’ll see your Turner Field and raise ya a Fulton County Stadium.

Speaking of, where did Georgia & tax payers get all this money from? Relatively speaking, Georgia Dome & Turner Field (built for 96 Olympics) weren’t that old and already since, Braves in Truist and Falcons in Mercedes-Benz

Sticking to Bobby, not MLB but way back when Baseball City stadium (Haines City, Boardwalk & Baseball) for Royals spring training

I was a young kid

tjforce · 06-28-2025, 04:29 PM

Bobby 3 for 3 and counting!

Well, Trusist Field isn’t really in Atlanta. Cobb County probably made a strong offer to lure the Braves out of Atlanta.

That is sweet.

They should do a Bobby and Uncle Mike card. As a long time Angels (and Bobby fan) I would dig it!

Skipscards · 06-30-2025, 01:01 PM

On Saturday when Bobby Baseball went 4 for 5, he officially passed David DeJesus for 24th most WAR as a Royals player. Why is this a big deal? This means on the Baseball-Reference Royals franchise page we finally get to see Bobby's smiling face as one the franchise's greatest all-time players!! With a spectacular 2nd half, we could see him climb to the top 17 and pass Paul Splittorff or maybe even Mike Sweeney!

bWAR is the best WAR.

ThoseBackPages · 06-30-2025, 04:41 PM

No WAR is the best WAR!

I love what Bob Marley did with WAR.

It's interesting - Bobby Witt Sr. has a pretty wide gap between his career bWAR and fWAR tallies:

Career bWAR: 14.6
Career fWAR: 27.8

I did some research, and the TLDR is:
- He had decent raw stuff (Ks, HR suppression) = higher fWAR.
- He struggled with walks, sequencing, and contact management = lower bWAR.
