You ever frequent the Mariners reddit? All the F Mike Trout posts/memes kill me
I go in there for post game threads when they lose to the A’s and it’s always so depressing LOL

Yeah I don't get why MLB didn't schedule the Opening Day series in Japan after the exhibition games. Flight from Tokyo to Seattle isn't bad, doubt it's that much longer to Oakland either. Plus these guys are flying PJs, not like it's commercial airlines haha. Anyways I'm all for the Japanese fanfare and Ichiro getting his send off, dude is a legend.

Speaking of Ichiro, I went to Camden yards to see him his rookie year when I was like 10 with my now late grandpop and dad. Great place and something I'll never forget.Finally visting Camden Yards next month

WELP
This didn't age well..
Congrats to Trout. We used to joke about could he/should he get half a billi, he damn near did.
Angels still owe him $66.5 mil on his current deal. Add that to the 12 yr contract he signed - $496.5 mil. Yep, pretty much there lol.
You ever get to it, Minute Maid is a pretty nice park. Very small and intimate type of feel. Not really a bad seat in the house. Houston fans don't really show up in droves unless its playoffs though. When teams like the yanks or red sox come here during the regular season, the crowd is pretty 50/50 split.
Stadiums I want to get to are:
Wrigley
Camden
Coors
Pirates
Giants
Phillies
Twins
Fenway.

It’s a perfectly good stadium to watch a game. It’s easy to navigate, has above average food (pricey though) and pretty much all the seats have a good vantage point. Snagging tickets isn’t difficult either. Surrounding neighborhood is nice as well.
If you’re looking for weird quirks like the Green Monster, it won’t be at Nats Park. You won’t get the charm of a Camden Yards/PNC, but it’s also not a dump like the Coliseum/Tropicana or full of boardroom stiffs and finance bros like Yankee Stadium.

I want to visit every single one as well.
I've checked off:
Astrodome, as well as, Minute Maid (Astros) live here.
New and old Yankee stadium (fav Team)
Texas Rangers (Although they're supposed to open a new stadium soon)
Chase Field (Arizona)
Comerica Park (Detroit)
and if they didn't open their new one, I made it to Turner Field (Atlanta) before they closed it.

So how will this work in say 7 years when he's possibly washed up/injuries creep up and is set to retire? Is all that money guaranteed? His contract is through 39 years old. I don't pay too much attention to baseball contracts and such. I haven't seen a real breakdown
Other than Albert (39), the oldest player on the active roster is 33 years old. I guess they're really hoping for the best.

Still mindblown that the old Yankee stadium was this close to the Polo Grounds way back when

Great American Ball Park
Wrigley (‘98 home run chase against McGuire and Cards)
Fenway Park (‘15 vs Yankees, loudest boos I ever heard for Arod)
Turner Field
Hoping to catch a rangers game this season now that I’m stationed in Louisna

What's even more mind blowing is how deep it was from left-center to right-center

Bullpen can probably warm up in center field and never worry about avoiding a ball hahaha

Playing Polo Grounds in MLB The Show is always a hilarious time
Cant lie hate when people pick it in diamond dynasty tho

No sir. The 66.5 is included in the 12 year deal. It's a 10 extension so to speak. It's not 12 years on top of the 2 he still has to fulfill.
It's essentially a 10/363 "New" deal plus the remaining 2 years and 66.5 he already had = 12/430.
