Baseball Parks?

Which ball park is a pitchers park, but also gives up lots of triples?

1. i am not sure exactly which one but its prolly a hitter's park...
2. Comerica Park in Detroit. Center field is huge. If you get a ball into the alley, a triple is pretty easy. However, the park doesn't give up alot of HRs. Look at Carlos Guillens career stats. He's hit 27 of his 43 triples in 3.5 years in Detroit. 17 at home 10 on the road.
3. San Francisco would be my first guess. Its got some pretty big in the gaps and has some funny angles out in right field which can make for a lot of misplayed balls. Its still a pitchers park for the most part because its a hard park to hit home runs in if your name isn't Barry Bonds...
4. toronto blue jays. With the turf, the ball can take weird bounces and the park is big
5. Nothing like the Polo Grounds in NYC. Over 500 feet to dead center. But only a pop fly to left and right field foul line. Thompson's home run to the beat the Dodgers in 51 only traveled about 201 feet, a pop fly.
6. any ballpark w/ a fence that's WAAAAAAY away from home plate. THink Comerica in Detroit, think AT&T/Pac Bell/SBC in Frisco, think Pro Player/Joe Robbie/Dolphins in Miami, maybe even (to center field, at least) Enron/the Juice Box in Houston. And maybe even KC, now that they've moved the fences back again.
7. Commerica Park It's in Detroit, Home of the Tigers! The reason is that the outfield is so big so that when the players bat they aim for center field so they outfielder kinda has to chase it down!!! Just look at Center Field http://www.ballparks.com/baseball/american/detbpk70.jpg
8. i agree with comerica park,but jacobs field is a pitchers park for right handed hitters with the 19 foot wall in left,and a great triples ball park
9. san diego's home field, RFK stadium (nationals), and san francisco's AT&T field are the biggest i believe, but I'm not sure about the AL. Comerica is a small one, but balls tend to fly out towards right center. Minute maid is tricky with the flag pole and hill in center, but its sure as hell hilarious to watch opposing cf trying to run that hill. Safeco is small too as well
10. Using stats from ESPN, and making a three-year weighted figure (2007 x3, 2006 x4, 2005 x2), I compiled a quick list of the best triples parks. (100 is league average) 1. Chase Field, Arizona: 190 2. Rogers Centre, Toronto: 147 3. Dolphins Stadium, Florida: 147 4. Comerica Park, Detroit: 147 5. Tropicana Field, Tampa: 141 However, Chase Field and Rogers Centre are not pitchers parks, quite the contrary. Dolphins Stadium would fit the bill quite well here. The strongest pitchers park is still Petco Park, and they still have a 119 triples factor. (For the record, Dodgers Stadium is the worst triples park, at 50.)
11. AT&T, its the hardest park statistically to hit a HR and we even have a section of the outfield named triples alley.
