Since 1990, Dan, John, Rich and I have been making an annual trek to a different baseball park for a weekend series.  Also known as the "Dead Stadium Tour", we generally try to visit a stadium that is on the "endangered species list" and is about to be torn down.  The following photos are samples of the stadiums we have visited, many of which no longer exist in any fashion. 

But first, the scorecard to identify the players:
