How many major league stadiums are there.SOSA just tied Griffey and Mcgriff at 44 stadiums homered upon.?

Answer 1

30 current. However if you want to count the Disney Stadium the Rays will use this year, so he has a shot at adding another there. I think its funny, that all these HR's he has, but only 7 total as a Texas Ranger, where I recall his hmmm....thinner days! Hop Hop!

Answer 2

There are 30 Major League parks currently in use. The reason that Sosa, Griffey, and McGriff were able to hit HR's in more parks than the 30 current ones is because their respective careers have been long enough to see the closing of old parks and the openings of many new parks (ie the Astrodome in Houston gave way to Minute Maid park in 2000, old and new Busch stadiums in St. Louis, etc).

Answer 3

In service, there are 30, one for each team.

However, dating from 1989, many new parks have opened and, usually, the old park retired and demolished. And MLB has added four new teams. Plus there's been a handful of "neutral site" games -- some in Tokyo, a few in Mexico, one series in Hawaii, the Expos played about 20 per year in Puerto Rico for two seasons, the A's played a week at their AAA team's park in Las Vegas since the Coliseum renovations weren't quite finished... anyway, many opportunities for homering in different parks.
