What baseball team’s park was dubbed “The Chop Shop”?

The old Atlanta-Fulton county stadium, home of the Braves and that gawd-awful tomahawk chop -  I'm a lifelong Braves fan so I can say that. Now they play at Turner Field, affectionately known as 'The Ted'.

As a Yankee fan, I am required to say Yankee Stadium but with that park aside... Camden Yards is excellent.  I love the fans there, the micro brews, the statue of Babe Ruth just outside the gates... It is just a cool place.

Both are pretty cool, but I think that even though I'm a White Sox fan, I would have to say Wrigley. I sat in the bleachers of Wrigley in a game against the Cardinals, and it was an awesome view. There were some annoying guys in front of us, but when they left we got to sit in the front row. U.S. Cellular isn't as great because it's named after a company, not a person. Minute Maid park, U.S. Cellular, etc., are not as cool usually.

Philadelphia was involved in one record of swat. It happened in August 25, 1952, in a baseball mythical place called Wrigley's Field. It was there the Chicago Cubs bested the Phillies 26 to 23 making this the highest scoring game to date. That game included 51 hits, 23 walks, 10 errors, and thousands of fans' tongues wagging.

I found this article I hope it helps ya. or are quizzing us. ;)\n\nPittsfield uncovers earliest written reference to gameAssociated Press\n\n\nPITTSFIELD, Mass. -- Officials and historians in this western Massachusetts city released a 213-year-old document Tuesday that they believe is the earliest written reference to baseball.\n\nThe evidence comes in a 1791 bylaw that aims to protect the windows in Pittsfield's new meeting house by prohibiting anyone from playing baseball within 80 yards of the building.\n\nThat bylaw would have been produced well before Abner Doubleday is said to have written the rules for the game in 1839.\n\nHistorian John Thorn was doing research on the origins of baseball when he found a reference to the bylaw in an 1869 book on Pittsfield's history.\n\nHe shared his find with former major leaguer and area resident Jim Bouton, who told city officials about the ordinance.\n\nA librarian found the actual document in a vault at the Berkshire Athenaeum library. Its age was authenticated by researchers at the Williamstown Art Conservation Center.\n\n"It's clear that not only was baseball played here in 1791, but it was rampant," Thorn said. "It was rampant enough to have an ordinance against it."\n\nThe long-accepted story of baseball's origins centers around Cooperstown, N.Y., where Doubleday is said to have come up with the rules for the modern game.\n\nThat legend long legitimized the Baseball Hall of Fame's presence in Cooperstown, although later evidence pointed to the first real game being played in Hoboken, N.J., in 1846.\n\nIn 2001, a librarian at New York University came across two newspaper articles published on April 25, 1823, that show an organized form of a game called "base ball" was being played in Manhattan.\n\nThe Pittsfield group hopes their find puts to rest the debate about the game's origins.\n\n"Pittsfield is baseball's Garden of Eden," Mayor James Ruberto said.\n\nBut experts say it may be impossible to say exactly where and when baseball was created because it evolved from earlier games, such as cricket and rounders, another English game played with a bat and ball.\n\n"There's no way of pinpointing where the game was first played," said Jeff Idelson, a spokesman for the Hall of Fame. "Baseball wasn't really born anywhere."\n\nStill, Idelson said if the Pittsfield group's document is authentic, it would be "incredibly monumental."\n\nPittsfield might be a sensible home for the sport. Some historians have documented "the Massachusetts game" as a precursor to modern baseball, where runners were thrown out if they were hit by a ball.\n\nBouton, whose decade-long career as a pitcher included stints with the New York Yankees and Houston Astros, lives in nearby Egremont and is helping to restore Pittsfield's Wahconah Park, the former home of several minor league teams. He hopes the discovery helps bring attention to the project.\n\n"We thought this was a lucky stroke," said Bouton, whose 1970 book "Ball Four" offered a scandalous look behind the scenes of professional baseball. "I'm sure Pittsfield will live off this for a while."\n\nFor now, the document will be kept in a vault until city officials figure out how to properly display it. A copy will be hung at Wahconah Park, one of the nation's oldest ballparks.

Wrigley Field is known for the Boston ivy planted against the outfield wall in 1937 by Bill Veeck. No batted ball has ever hit the scoreboard, though Sam Snead did manage to hit it with a golf ball teed off from home plate.\n\nBefore 1937, though, Wrigley outfield was rather more spacious. There were other buildings on the west side of the property in 1914, and this compelled the designers to squeeze the structure between those buildings, resulting in the ballpark having a short right field, some 298 feet to the outer wall. The only bleachers were in the left and center field areas. \n\nDuring the off-season between 1922 and 1923, with the extraneous buildings cleared off, engineers took the unusual move of slicing the single-deck grandstand in two places, and rolling those stands 60 feet to the west. The gap was filled in with more seating, resulting in the noticeable "dog leg" in the stands on the first base side, barely visible at the lower right of the "friendly confines" photo accompanying this article. The diamond and the foul lines were rotated 3 degrees counterclockwise, providing room for additional rows of box seats all around foul ground, but resulting in a shallower left field. The bleachers were removed from that area and re-installed across right field. It was then about 360 feet to the outer right field wall, but an inner fence was constructed to cut the distance to 321.\n\nDuring the mid-1920s, the ballpark was upper-decked in two stages, the third-base (shady) side first, and then the first-base (sunny) side. But the bleachers were set. By the early 1930s, distance markers were posted: left field line, 364 feet; left-center against the outer wall, 372; left center, corner of bleachers, 364; deep center field, 440; right center, 354; right field line, 321.\n\nIn 1937, the Cubs announced plans to rebuild the bleachers in concrete instead of wood, to be fronted by brick that would soon be covered in ivy, and to build a new scoreboard. To make the outfield look more symmetrical and graceful, the plans called for extending the left field bleachers to a point closer to the corner. The gentle curves between the ends of the left and right field bleachers would become popularly known as the "wells".
