Ballparks Hosting World Series, 1903-2013

Active ballparks in bold type, and ranked. Parks no longer in use (regardless of whether they're still standing) in normal type. Ties broken by most recent. For those that have not yet hosted, ties broken by most LCS hosted, then most LDS, then age (newest, therefore gone less without having hosted, to oldest, therefore gone longer).

That the Mets are dead last among active ballparks is a quirk, due to having a relatively new stadium. That the Yankees are 13th among active ballparks is a shock, but remember: Like Citi Field, the new Yankee Stadium only opened in 2009.

Some of you may be confused by some of these dates:

In 1914, the Boston Braves left their home, the South End Grounds, and shared the larger, newer Fenway Park with the Red Sox until Braves Field could open.  So when the Braves won the Pennant, they played their World Series home games at Fenway.  The next season, Braves Field opened, with a larger capacity, and they returned the favor to the Red Sox, who played World Series "home games" there in 1915, 1916 and 1918.

Similarly, in 1918, the Chicago White Sox allowed the Cubs the use of Comiskey Park, which was larger than Wrigley Field, for the World Series.  Wrigley did not host a World Series game until 1929, and Fenway, after 1914, did not do so again until 1946.

The Dodgers played in the L.A. Coliseum from 1958 to 1961, and then moved into Dodger Stadium.
