BASEBALL FLYOVER 2012
Going through referrer logs the past few years, it appears some of the most searched things on this site were the Google Earth screengrabs I did long ago of the 30 ballparks. Obviously, a bunch of them were outdated. Not to mention, some good folks out there have done 3D models of some of the ballparks. Go figure.
Note on a couple of the ballparks: apparently there isn’t any updated imagery in Google Earth for Target Field. What shows up is a parking lot. Google Maps tends to get updated imagery before Google Earth, however. As for the new Marlins ballpark, all the imagery shows a stadium that’s about 50% built.
Anyway, it was fun when I made the original post in 2006, so nearly six years later, here’s another...
Just like last time, I tried to get an oblique perspective and I oriented the perspective to north.
Enjoy.

Again, thanks to Google Earth along with the good folks (mouseover for credits) that bring us the imagery and the 3D models of the ballparks.
