Well, I already listed Yanks I liked so I won't go there, but here's a list of current (and former) MLB parks I have watched games in...
1. Fenway Park 2. Shea Stadium 3. Oriole Park at Camden Yards 4. Dodger Stadium 5. Anaheim Stadium (whatever they are calling it these days) 6. Jack Murphy Stadium (former home of the Padres)
I've been to the old Tiger Stadium when I was in Detroit for the Frozen Four lo those many years ago, but obviously no games at that point. I wanted to check out a Brewers game when I was in Milwaukee for Gen Con in '90 but they were on a road trip while I was in town. I also visited the old Memorial Stadium in Baltimore when we went to Camden (it hadn't been torn down yet and we had driven all night from CT to Baltimore as broke recent college grads, and had spent most of our money on tix for Camden so had no money for a hotel, so we crashed in the car parked in the lot for old Memorial Stadium.

My favorite cities I have been in in the last 2 months:
1) San Francisco. It's home 2) Glasgow. Friendly people, good whisky. Glengoyne offered a great distillery tour. 3) Seattle. Lovely waterscape. Lots of cool CBRians to hang out and drink with, great comic con. 4) Antwerp. Lovely place to walk around, including some wonderful pubs and an amazing comic store full of comics I just hadn't heard of. 5) Schengen. Beautiful riverside town on the France/Germany/Luxembourg border. Great winetasting, and important to world history for the treaty that removed borders from Europe. 6) Brussels. A truly excellent comic book museum 7) Manhattan. My favorite bar is Keen's, with its selection of some 270 single malts. 8) Washington DC. A great pizza place on H street 9) Harrogate. One of the places in England where people are happiest. Also high on the list of places where the most alcohol is consumed. 10) Orlando. I have connections that get me into Disney World for free. I like to to try the wines of various countries in Epcot.
I also rather liked Wageningen, Bielefeld, Baltimore, Rochefort, Calais , Lancaster and Cheltenam.

Wonder Woman has a long list of great and interesting foes (Cheetah, Giganta, Doctor Cyber, Zora, Devestation and Silver Swan amongst my favorites), a lot of Spider-Woman's are pretty strange and unique (Gypsy Moth, The Needle, Brothers Grimm, Daddy Longlegs) and Daredevil has some great, albeit obscure, older villains (Man-Bull, Tagak the Leopard Lord, Rotgut) in addition to his classic ones (Bullseye, Typhoid Mary, etc.).

Yeah, but... Chameleon, Vulture, Dr. Octopus, Sandman, Lizard, The Enforcers, Mysterio, Green Goblin, Kraven, Scorpion, Rhino, Kingpin, Hobgoblin, Sin-Eater, Venom...

Props to you for Gene Shalit and Snidley Whiplash Snidley seemed like a better choice than Dick Dasterdly from Wacky Races. Go with the original. And how can you not go with Gene? That's probably the craziest moustache in TV history...or Hans Conreid as Uncle Tonoose from Make Room For Daddy. Looking back, I did miss Avery Schrieber...good moustache. For his Doritos commericals alone!

I would have the Fantastic Four and The New Teen Titans on that list. You're definitely right about the Fantastic Four belonging on that list. For some reason, I was only thinking in terms of solo heroes.
