Good teams, AWFUL ballparks

Of the eight remaining teams in the major league baseball playoffs, two teams have truly awful or substandard ballparks. They are the Oakland Athletics and the Tampa Bay Rays. Oakland plays at the O.com Coliseum (or Oakland Coliseum) and the Rays play at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, FL, just outside Tampa. The Oakland Coliseum is an outdated multipurpose facility that isn't even good for the Raiders, let alone the A's. Tropicana Field is essentially this generation's Kingdome, a monstrosity that doesn't work for baseball in the 21st century. I beg Allan H. (Bud) Selig, to coax these teams and their cities to build appropriate ballparks for the 21st century. The two wild card losers, Cleveland and Cincinnati, have attractive ballparks, Progressive Field and Great American Ballpark. Too bad that they couldn't have replaced these two teams and their lousy ballparks.
