Polo Grounds (Giants and Mets) As I remember the club house was behind CF. When a pitcher got pulled, he did not walk to the dugout but all the way to CF and out through a gate.
The Met in Minneapolis. I recall they had some sort of marker in the LF bleachers where one of Killebrew's HRs landed. Same thing in Memorial Stadium with a marker for a Frank Robinson HR.
My all-time favorite for "enter at your own risk" was Municipal Stadium in KC. I sat in the upper deck. They had wooden seats. ALL the seats in the upper deck had splinters. I remember the seat in the row directly in front of me had an up-turned splinter about eight inches in length. If you needed some rectal surgery, it would be your seat of choice.
