View from the American League Press Boxes

Geoff Baker of the Seattle Times recently did a post on all of the press boxes in the American League and rated them from worst to best.

This is something that I may pick up on as we get closer to the start of the season. I may come up with a different ratings system though.

1. Stadium proximity/access
2. Food
3. Interview space in visitors' clubhouse
4. Working conditions in pressbox/view
5. Postgame access to clubhouse from pressbox

Mainly because the only thing that matters to me is #4...and maybe #2...maybe.

Anyway, Oakland is at the bottom, Fenway is at #13, and old Yankee Stadium is #12. #1 is as surprising the fact that the stadium at Baker's #1 hosted a World Series last October.
