Where, oh where have all the old stadiums gone?

If you're a baseball fan travelling on vacation this summer and looking for some interesting little side trips, here's a fun article on 10 former baseball stadiums and a little "where are they now?". It includes Forbes Field in Pittsburgh, the Polo Grounds in NY, and even the old Metropolitan Stadium in Minneapolis (which is now the site of the massive Mall of America).

Before the 1912 opening of Fenway Park, Huntington Avenue Grounds was home to the Boston Red Sox. Now located on the campus of Northeastern University, there is a life-size statue of Cy Young (pictured) located near where the pitcher's mound used to be.

And just for fun, there are former minor league parks in Seattle and Houston.

Even if you're not heading to these places, it's a fun read.

Check out Diamonds in the dust from MSNBC.com.

Very cool article.
I think the band needs to jump on the road and tour so we can visit these sites.
