What are your favorite MLB parks?

Apologies if this beats an already well-trodden path into the ground...

Believe it or not, the first MLB ballpark I visited was the Polo Grounds, when I was very young and my Dad took me there for one of the Mets' first games. Now that I am old enough to really appreciate the experience, I can list off about half a dozen major league parks I've been to, including both the original Orioles stadium and the newer Camden Yards; Mets' Shea Stadium; Oakland Athletics' home stadium (back when they were still in Oakland); Candlestick; the original Yankees stadium; and, most recently, the Astros' Daikin Park (former Minute Maid Park). Oh, Rogers Centre too (Blue Jays), and T-Mobile Park (Mariners). OK, it's more than half a dozen; sorry!

I can't say I have ever had a bad experience, but thinking back, the Astros game had a sort of a subterranean feel to it. Among all those I have listed, I think Camden Yards has been my favorite. SF Oracle Park and the new Yankee Stadium are on my to-do list; but after Houston, the closest one to my current location is Truist Park in Atlanta. From the photos it looks like one I'd definitely want to experience. Does anyone have other recommendations for when I finally get the time and the wherewithal to do "The Road Trip?"

I received a Chat message telling me I had been "added as an approved user" to r/blackmirror . I am not all that familiar with all the bells and whistles of reddit, but this looked like a mod mail message so I responded, asking what this signified. My answer, about 40 minutes later, was to be told I had been "permanently muted" and couldn't communicate with the moderators. Am I the victim of some kind of scam?
