Minute Maid Park

For some idiosynchrosies not found anywhere else, you can check out Minute Maid Park. For some reason, they decided to put a hill in centerfield. This is to get the centerfield extra workout to catch that fly ball. To make his job a little bit more difficult, they have a flag pole at the top of the hill. Another interesting tidbit is the train engine sitting on some tracks on top of the left field wall. Whoever an Astro hits a homer, you'll hear it from the engine as it goes streaking across the top of left field wall. Oh yeah, the baseball is pretty good too as the Astros manage to always make things interesting in recent years. The fans are friendly too. You can root for the visiting team without much consequence. more
