All current stadiums that serve as home field to any MLB team are draftable. Along with current stadiums, all MLB teams’ most recent permanent home stadiums are eligible if applicable. The name of the park is the most recent official name of the park while the team is/was a tenant. In specific cases of multiple names based on specific teams, the name used by the team is the park’s “official” name for scoring purposes.
1- THE COMMISSIONER’S METRIC
Your score is the most recent year that a home team from one of your parks won the World series. This is purely based on the home team, and not a WS taking place in the stadium itself. For Example, if you draft Wrigley Field, your score would be 2016, even though the Cubs won game 7 in Cleveland. Suck it Tim. Most recent year is most valuable.
2- IT’S GOT HISTORY
