I would also be glad to include photos of stadiums that served as "neutral venues," or photos that are of better quality than the current ones...
Please Contact me (via e-mail) if you would like to share some of your "photographic memories" with other fans.

COMPARE THIS TABLE TO: Postseason scores since 2002
(Regular season winning percentages in parentheses.) Underlined scores denote extra-inning games. Olive-shaded score boxes denote games won by the VISITING team. Higher-seeded teams (those with the initial home field advantage) are shown on the BOTTOM side in each matchup. However, beginning with 2012, each league has TWO wild card teams, competing in a one-game "play-in," and whichever of those two teams that wins in each league is displayed below (after the outcome is known), so as to properly align with the subsequent divisional series scores. Beginning in 2003 and continuing through 2016, the league that won the All Star Game got the initial home field advantage in the World Series; prior to 2003, initial home field advantage in the World Series alternated from year to year. Except for 2002 (the infamous tie), the American League won the All Star Game every year between 1997 and 2009. Beginning in 2017, home field advantage in the World Series goes to the team with the higher regular season winning percentage.

(Includes major revisions, minor revisions, pages with additional diagrams, and future stadiums that are under construction. This is only a rough guide; the sequence is subject to change.)
Soon after the 2017 opening of the new home of the Atlanta Braves (SunTrust Park), construction began on the future home of the Texas Rangers, a very brief lapse. The last significant lapse occurred from March 2012 (when Marlins Park was completed), September 2014 (when construction on SunTrust Park began). Before that, there was at least one major league baseball stadium under construction continually from September 1986 until March 2012. Both the Oakland Athletics and Tampa Bay Rays hope to get public funding for a new stadium, but near-term prospects are bleak.

My first two visits were during the 1957 season which was the last year for Pacific Coast League baseball in Los Angeles. I was a 10 year old little leaguer at the time and my league was in San Pedro which together with Wilmington and Long Beach constituted the Port of Los Angeles. I went to games with a neighbor and his father. To a 10 year-old Wrigley was major league with double decked stands from foul pole to foul pole. My favorite player was the Angels first baseman "Big" Steve Bilko. My last trip to Wrigley was in 1961 the inaugural season for the expansion American League Angels. My father took me to a "twilight" double header against the Baltimore Orioles and the Orioles were considered a serious threat to the Yankees that year for the AL pennant. The Angels had drafted Bilko in the expansion draft. Bilko did not disappoint as he hit a 3-run homer in the bottom of the 1st of the opener and a "walk-off" solo homer in the bottom of the 11th of the night cap to give the Angels a sweep by identical 6-5 scores. The crowd was noisy and the atmosphere "electric" and the stands were so close to the field. I'm 77 now but will never forget that special night in August of 1961.
