I shit you not, that guy spent an hour of his show talking about the look of three baseball parks.

This had to rank up there with Goff's dish washer night as the most self indulgent radio I have heard on the station.

Also, do people really spend precious vacation time with the focal point being traveling to stadia (fucking Bernstein)? He had some Score back room guy on with him last night who went to Los Angeles and could only talk about going to a Dodgers game.

I love baseball,but I could give a flying rat's ass about wasting vacation time to check out ballparks.

As for Goff's dishwasher riff sometime back,I was listening that night thinking he would move on,he didn't,it was terrible radio!

I've almost completely given up on sports radio. Probably consumed about 15 minutes total in the last 2 weeks. I used to listen all day long.

I recommend the Pistol Shrimps Radio podcast. Two improv comedians that don't know anything about basketball doing play-by-play of a women's rec league team. Strange at first but give it time.

i don't know what you wouldn't...10 years ago or so i was in San Francisco for about a week and was able to check out both an A's game and a Giants game. It was pretty fun. now i probably wouldn't plan a vacation specifically to see a certain park, but if i was in a city with a park i'd never been to, i'd make an effort to go

It's a great stadium but its a stadium. Even on a purely architectural level, there is better architecture in the city.

I'm aware. I wasn't pitting a stadium against other architecture. Purely from a stadium standpoint, I liked the design and loved that it was right on the river.

I'm with you Ken. I turned on B&B yesterday hoping to hear some fun bad radio and they where talking MLB needing to protect people who are sitting in the stands. I'm not sure how they have turned this into a daily topic. Yes, people need to be protected at games. Solution, add a screen or plastic glass. End Convo. Move on to next topic. But no they go on and on, on top of their soapbox about the dangers of watching a ball game. I PTFB and listened to some GNR.

B&B killed the sports radio stars.

Speaking of protecting people at MLB games, I'm surprised they still let kids catch popups at the HR Derby.

100% sure that comes to an end soon as 2 kids will collide...came close last night...

As For Leary, he looks at stadiums different from us regular fans....he knows so much more, thus you must value his opinion...

In reality, stadiums are shit. They are close to industrial buildings, whch are block, block, rebar, truss....of course even that is too much of a pain these days...pre fab wall, snap them in...bam...play ball...The emphasis on small party areas is what should be done to produce more revenue, but that costs a little more money....but I am sure Leary covered all this.

oh no, don't let Bernstein know or we'll get a 'think of the actuaries' bit (for an hour)

Spring training is cool because you get out of the stupid winter and sit in the sunshine. The Sox have a nice set up.

Waiting for the time when I can finally say
That this has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way

My Dad, my brother and I went to St Louis for the Sox/Cards series. We had fun.

Found it interesting that of any person on the planet to complain about a system that had a municipality paying for any stadium Uncle Jerry is last in that line.

I honestly think each stadium should have a fruit stand. Its easy to sell, no prep, huge markup.....grapes and cherries....need noshing food at games....

Can't you bring your own food to games? Just pack up containers of fruit.

"pack up containers of fruit?" No.

Not a bad idea, bigfan...but y'know stadiums aren't going to sell perishable items...hence why hot dogs are sold.
