There's no start date for the Major League Baseball season, which means I have no idea when I'll walk back through the left field gate of my second home, Oracle Park. As a beat writer, you end up spending about three months of every year at your home park, becoming intimately familiar with everything behind the scenes.
Because of the way the schedule is, though, the same kind of holds true for other parks in the National League. I can tell you the best way to get into Dodger Stadium without having to wait 20 minutes for the elevator, the best place to grab a sandwich in Lower Denver when there's that inevitable rain delay, and the exact hotel rooms that give you the best view of Petco Park.
