nymr83 Old-Timey Member Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 Moyer will become the first player to pitch in FIFTY different major league parks tonight when he starts at Miami's new stadium (according to Jayson Stark)A testament to his long 25 year career, the advent of interleague play, and the number of owners who have squeezed public dollars out of their states and cities recently.This got me thinking, how many teams are even still playing where they played when Moyer's career began? I'm coming up with the Red Sox, Twins, Athletics, Cubs, and Dodgers. Are any of these wrong? Am I missing any?
