Best Stadiums in the MLB

Megatron

There's 30 stadiums in all of the MLB. Some have the history, like Fenway Park and Wrigley Park, some have flashiness, like Kauffman Stadium and Angel Stadium with their fountains. Anyway you wanna slice it, each MLB stadium has it's own unique identity. So, my question for you guys is:

What is the best ballpark in the MLB? You can base this on any way you want. History, features, etc., etc. just make sure you point out why you like it.

And a second question, flipped around...

What is the worst ballpark in the MLB? Same as above.

Only one rule: Don't pick your home stadium. Because if you could, most of us would, and we'd look like homers. So go a different route and pick someone's stadium. As for my two choices...

Best Ballpark: Arizona's Chase Field. This field always looks nice on television. They don't have a lot of fancy attractions like a foutain or anything, but if I went to another teams field this would be one of my top choices. It looks great and it's always nice in Arizona.

Worst Ballpark: I think I have a feeling who might get a lot of recognition here, and rightfully so, so instead I'm gonna go with the Oakland Athletics Colliseum. The wide foul territory makes me mad, and its also, a, uh, FUCKING FOOTBALL FIELD! The Marlins stadium is the same way, but I'm sure they're getting a new one soon. It also looks like there's not a spot to sit in the OF with all of the padding and shit they had, and it just doesn't look good on the eyes.

So what are your picks?
 
There have been some great stadiums built over the last 20 years so it’s hard to pick just one. Since I have to pick one I’ll choose PNC Park in Pittsburgh for the best. This is a gorgeous stadium. It looks awesome on tv. I love how you can look past the outfield into the city. The rivers and bridges really add to the park. It’s just a shame it’s always empty.

The worst has to be Tropicana Field in Tampa. That’s just an eyesore. Ever since the retractable roof became an option I don’t really care for domes. Compared to everything else Tropicana Field looks awful.
 
Well since I can't select my home stadium of Citizen's Bank Park (which is my favorite ballpark in terms of the ones I have been to), I'll select Great American Ballpark in Cinci. I've been there twice now, once in its inaugural season and again in 07. It is a nice ballpark, with a great view and there isn't really a bad seat in the house.

As for worse I'm gonna have to say either Tropicana or Dolphins Stadium (or whatever it goes by these days). Neither are appealing looking and it terms of Dolphins Stadium it is usually pretty empty when it comes to the Fish. The Trop is just a hazard. The catwalk seems to come into play more often than it should and dome stadiums have really run their course, especially in MLB.
 
I would say the best ballpark in baseball would have to be Fenway Park. Fenway is always sold out no matter who The Red Sox are playing. I mean it just looks really nice with the green monster it's just a really unique ballpark that separates from others. The worst ballpark would have to be Tropicana field it looks awful on tv not to mention the horrible catwalk it has on the roof. You always hear the media say by far it's the worst ballpark in the majors. Not to mention the incident which occured last week when a ball was hit in the catwalk and the rays lost the game on an easy pop-up.
