Two Ballparks

The Brooklyn Dodgers in 1956 and 1957 played regular season games in two different ballparks. In modern times, one other team that I know of used two different ballparks during the same season, can you name that team? I'm not talking about playing a game or two in a neutral site but actually schedule anumber of games in two ballparks.

The Rays played a few of their home games at Disney, didn't they?

I think the Expos did it a few years back.

That must be the right answer. Most home games in Stade Olympique and a couple in Hirham Bithorn Stadium in Puerto Rico.

Once again a correct answer, but not the answer I am looking for. The team I am looking for played in two ballparks in their home city and on a regular basis. Sorry I forgot to check back here.

I sometimes turn into Houdinipug, my alter ego. Here is a hint, it is an American League team.

I've just had a scotch and can't think quickly....I'll leave it up to Kramer or PCP for the answer and go down and join my wife and make her happy.

No, it was the Cleveland Indians who used both League park and Municipal Stadium. League Park was much smaller and they used it for midweek day games and Municipal Stadium for night games and weekends.

I learned this a while back while I was playing my Strat-O-Matic replays! Cool.

in 1966, the Cardinals opened the season in Sportsmans Park and in May moved into Busch Stadium, six weeks prior to the All Star Game being played there.
