I would have loved to of watched a ball game, such a unique park. Imagine being there live for the merkles boner game, the Mays catch, Robby Thompson HR, babe Ruth ending a world series trying to steal 2nd base, or just seeing a game where the crazy dimensions really came into play. Easily the most unique ballpark ever.

The stadium was designed that way because during those days you had to make due with whatever land the city gave you, you had to find a way to fit a ballpark into whatever plot of land you got. That's why so many old stadiums have such crazy dimensions and designs
