Mike Trout is a once in a generation player and his talent is going to waste in the Angels organization. Too bad he doesn't want to play for a team that wants to be competitive.
I see what he's trying to do. He wants to be a guy who spends his whole career with the same team, and that's something I really admire. Guys like Ripken, Biggio and Helton all got/get "bonus points" from me for doing that. Trout desperately wants to win...with the Angels...and I think the Angels want to win. I just think Moreno is a terrible owner, and he's hiring guys who can't get the job done (they've also had more than their fair share of bad luck with injuries).
On the other hand, I quite enjoy scoring cheap tickets for games played 10 minutes from where I work in a stadium whose parking situation is 100x better than Dodger Stadium.
When we went out there to go to Disneyland in 2015, we thought we'd see a game in Anaheim. But the Angels were out of town, so I asked my wife, what about seeing the Dodgers and she was cool with that.
I must say that going to Dodger Stadium that day was a tremendous experience. So glad we didn't have to settle for going to Anaheim Stadium (although I'd still love to see a game there).
It's got to be different for someone visiting as opposed to someone who's lived here his whole life. I don't remember ANYTHING about my first Dodger game as a kid, but I do remember not being able to find the car in the parking lot and crying...and, on subsequent visits, sitting in the car for an hour and not moving an inch trying to get out of the parking lot...and not being able to get into the parking lot and missing the first FOUR innings when the Red Sox played at Dodger stadium about 10 years ago. I'd MUCH rather go to a Dodger game, but the location of the stadium and getting into and out of the place is a HUGE disincentive for me and a lot of folks (to say nothing about parking costing 3x as much as it does in Anaheim because the corrupt former owner of the Dodgers still owns the parking lots).
I'd love to see a game in every stadium. I've only been to Candlestick, AT&T Park (aka Oracle Park), Safeco (or whatever they're calling these days), and Petco. Oh, and I've also been to Tropicana Field.....what a dump
I've listed mine before, but...
Dodger Stadium
Anaheim Stadium (Angels)
Candlestick Park (the original)
AT&T Park (or whatever the current home of the Giants is called)
Petco Park (Padres)
Coors Field (Rockies)
Chase Field (D-Backs)
Fenway Park
Yankee Stadium (the new one)
Citi Field (Mets)
Camden Yards (Orioles)
Nationals Park
And...after next Thursday...Wrigley Field!
That'll leave me with 19 to go.
