Top Nine Ballparks/Nine Greatest Workout Songs

Just wanted to share some data on ballpark usage that I have been accumulating since December. I hope to continue this for the 2014 set!

Ballpark #Gms
Great American Ballpark 1956
PNC Park 1183
Yankee Stadium 1038
Busch Stadium 1001
Progressive Field 992
Marlins Park 864
Wrigley Field 851
AT&T Park 803
Fenway Park 791

Least used ballparks:
Minute Maid Park 72
Nationals Park 72

As far as success rates there weren't too many leagues that had finished since December but among playoff teams, Great American Ballpark and Wrigley Field were the leaders.

Why Top 9 and not Top 10? In baseball things tend to come in threes.

Excellent thread topic, Gravy. I don't use my workout iphone during my spinning classes, but I definitely use it on the treadmill and machines. I obviously have more than 9 songs on my iphone, but these would be my 9 favorite workout songs:

1. It's Electric by Metallica--Their brilliant cover of Diamond Head's classic is my usual starter.

2. These Days--by R.E.M.--Off of their rocking album, Life's Rich Pageant, it's excellent early morning fare.

3. All My life--by Foo Fighters--Hard driving punk rocker has excellent fast-paced tempo.

4. Hysteria by Muse--Radeoheadites best is this crunchy anthem with a consistent drum beat.

5. Spiralling by Keane--Usual light rockers surprised with this hard-driving rocker.

6.The Immigrant Song by Led Zeppelin--Running to the Land of the Ice and Snow is awesome in the morning.

7. When You Were Young by The Killers--Stirring opening guitar solo sets an excellent rapid tempo.

8. King of New Orleans by Better Than Ezra--2nd best song by N.O. rockers is their best workout song.

9. You Could Be Mine by Guns & Roses--Ferocious Terminator 2 song has excellent staccato.
