We've updated our look at Warner Park (aka "The Duck Pond"), as the Madison Mallards (summer collegiate; Northwoods League) unveil upgrades for the 2012 season.

Hailed as an engineering marvel when it opened in 1982 and abandoned by the Minnesota Twins for a spiffier Target Field, the Metrodome is still a functioning ballpark, hosting Golden Gopher baseball as well as a slew of small-college and high-school games every winter and spring.

Named for Alfred A. McKethan, a wealthy benefactor who contributed $2.4 million toward the construction of the ballpark, Alfred A. McKethan Stadium at Perry Field has been home to University of Florida baseball since 1988.

There are some ballparks that are just plain likable, in spite of some deficiencies. Port Arthur Stadium, tucked into a corner of Thunder Bay, is one of those places. It's not a very large facility, and it's not very fancy. In fact, it's a pretty basic ballpark and the Thunder Bay Border Cats don't do a lot of fancy between innings activities. So, if you like your baseball simple and uncomplicated, this is your kind of ballpark and your kind of team.
