The original Bernie’s Chalet at Milwaukee County Stadium. #Brewers

h/t @mikeobs Image
Bernie’s Chalet from Milwaukee County Stadium still exists, it was purchased by Lakefront Brewery in Milwaukee after the #Brewers moved to Miller Park and has sat inside their facility ever since.

Image via: @lakefront Image
Correction: There were 2 Bernie’s Chalets. The original sat at County Stadium 1973-84 & the 2nd from 1993-2000. The chalet in the 1st tweet is the 2nd chalet. Both chalets are now at Lakefront Brewery in Milwaukee.

Pic 1= original, Pic 2= ‘93 version. Both pics via @lakefront ImageImage
The barrel that connected to Bernie’s Chalet (version 2) was also saved and now sits at Lakefront Brewery in Milwaukee.

Best: Wrigley Field. This is the only ballpark that gets two top features because they are synonymous with Wrigley. They also went in the same year (1937). The hand operated scoreboard and the ivy. #Cubs
Worst: Wrigley Field. Tempted to go with the lights. How great would it be if the Cubs still played all day games and forced MLB to play half the World Series under the sun in 2016? So, it’s the bullpen(s) that where buried under the bleachers. Never mind, it’s the lights.
Best: Miller Park. The roof. Would be easy to go with Bernie’s slide, but the roof is a work of art. #Brewers

The best (and worst) feature of every ballpark (thread).

Going west to east. In progress until complete. Image
Best: Dodger Stadium's seating color scheme was designed to mimic the beach and ocean. #Dodgers Image
Worst: Dodger Stadium. Getting there doesn’t count. Never liked the massive parking lot, though it was enhanced with the outfield pavilion renovation this year. ImageImage

The new bullpens beyond center field at Oracle Park. Up until this year they had been in-play along the base lines. #SFGiants

Center field was brought in and Triples Alley was reduced to make room for the new bullpens at Oracle Park. Dimensions before and after. 👇

@SlovikR @Orioles @SmithJanetmarie Will take a couple tweets to even give you the short answer so bear with me
@SlovikR @Orioles @SmithJanetmarie In 1989 the only ballpark with a brick backstop was Wrigley Field. Your classic parks (built 1909-1923; Shibe, Ebbets, Forbes etc) were squeezed into a city block resulted in a city block resulting in quirky dimensions and wall heights. Were built with detailed brick exteriors..
@SlovikR @Orioles @SmithJanetmarie Painted green steel beams and wrought iron details. From 1960s-1980s. Parks were mostly multipurpose concrete donuts with symmetrical walls. Oriole Park brought back the green seats, angled walls, wrought iron details, classic clock, detailed seat cap. Steel with brick exterior. Image
