MLB stadiums ranked by capacity: Baseball's biggest and smallest ballparks
MLB stadiums ranked by capacity: Baseball's biggest and smallest ballparks Show Caption Hide Caption CC Sabathia on entering the Hall of Fame and wearing a Yankees cap on his plaque CC Sabathia will be enshrined into the Hall of Fame this July and tells USA TODAY Sports why his plaque will feature him wearing a Yankees cap. Sports Seriously Major League Baseball's roster of ballparks looks a bit different in 2025 with the Athletics (Sacramento) and Rays (Tampa) playing in temporary digs this season. The Athletics' Sutter Health Park and Rays' George M. Steinbrenner Field are both minor-league stadiums, with their substantially lower capacities making them the two smallest ballparks in MLB right now. MLB STADIUM RANKINGS: Baseball travelers rank favorite ballparks Dodger Stadium holds more fans – 56,000 – that any other baseball stadium, with Chase Field (Diamondbacks), T-Mobile Park (Mariners), Coors Field (Rockies) and Yankee Stadium rounding out the top five in terms of capacity. On the other end of the spectrum, the Rays' temporary home (which is the Yankees' spring training facility) holds just 11,026 fans and the Athletics' ballpark (home of Giants' Class AAA team) ranks second-smallest with a capacity of 13,416. Progressive Field (Guardians), LoanDepot Park (Marlins) and Fenway Park (Red Sox) are MLB's three other smallest ballparks.

Red Sox unveil epic Green Monster jersey for 2025 City Connect uniform
Red Sox unveil epic Green Monster jersey for 2025 City Connect uniform Show Caption Hide Caption CC Sabathia on entering the Hall of Fame and wearing a Yankees cap on his plaque CC Sabathia will be enshrined into the Hall of Fame this July and tells USA TODAY Sports why his plaque will feature him wearing a Yankees cap. Sports Seriously The Boston Red Sox's City Connect uniforms have shifted from marathon to Monster motif. The club will debut what it calls its "Fenway Greens" kits Friday night at Fenway Park against Atlanta, with newly acquired ace Garrett Crochet modeling the togs against former Red Sox lefty Chris Sale. It's a significant departure from the Red Sox's first City Connects - which were also the very first rollout in Major League Baseball's series. The yellow and powder blue theme aimed to dovetail with the iconic Boston Marathon finish line, a perfect getup for their annual Patriots Day game. The club announced that those uniforms will remain a "core offering" and will continue to be used on marathon Monday in April. Yet with MLB aiming to keep the cash registers whirring and the fresh looks churning, the Red Sox and several other clubs have debuted a second City Connect uniform, certainly risking a downshift in vibes from their originals. The Red Sox seemed to hit the mark again on the second go-around. The green tops certainly make the playerse resemble walking, talking Green Monsters, the shade perfectly matching the famed wall. And while the club notes the yellow jersey numerals on the front are a tribute to the Fisk and Pesky foul poles, they also match the yellow used on the Monster scoreboard to reflect that the inning is ongoing in an out-of-town score. The club will wear them on "select" home dates throughout the season, though Friday home games tend to be the preferred leaguewide window for the alternate gear.

MLB power rankings: Twins survive ugly start, but other teams push panic button
MLB power rankings: Twins survive ugly start, but other teams push panic button Show Caption Hide Caption CC Sabathia on entering the Hall of Fame and wearing a Yankees cap on his plaque CC Sabathia will be enshrined into the Hall of Fame this July and tells USA TODAY Sports why his plaque will feature him wearing a Yankees cap. Sports Seriously The panic buttons are getting pushed all across Major League Baseball. Pittsburgh Pirates manager Derek Shelton? Fired, after a 12-26 start and six seasons where the franchise put the overmatched skipper in an untenable spot. Colorado Rockies manager Bud Black? Escorted into early retirement, after the Rockies compiled one of the worst starts in major league history and posted a casual 21-0 loss – yes, that's 21 runs, not three touchdowns. A few weeks ago, the Minnesota Twins might have fallen into a similar sinkhole. But after losing their first four games, 11 of their first 15 and 15 of their first 22, they are, stunningly, in the black. An eight-game winning streak sends Minnesota roaring into this week with a 21-20 record, a seven-spot gain in USA TODAY Sports' power rankings. The Twins are suddenly perched just five games out in a startlingly competitive American League Central. Hot streaks are in vogue there: the Kansas City Royals just completed a 16-2 heater to stay within hailing distance of the indomitable Detroit Tigers. A look at our updated rankings: 1. Los Angeles Dodgers (-) As if the pitching concerns weren't already real, Rōki Sasaki has a 1.49 WHIP. 2. New York Mets (-) The Griffin Canning Joyride continues – a 2.36 ERA in eight starts. Once fired Bud Black as manager, and then got him fired with a Coors Field explosion. 4. Detroit Tigers (-) Hamstring strain sends Casey Mize to the IL. Heliot Ramos on an 18-for-43 (.419) heater. Pete Crow-Armstrong hits his 10th home run – matching his 2024 total. 7. New York Yankees (-) Giancarlo Stanton taking batting practice in progression back from elbow malady. Bryson Stott thriving in leadoff role. Bryce Miller's ERA balloons to 5.22. 10. Cleveland Guardians (-) Gabriel Arias' .735 OPS more than 100 points better than career mark entering year. Set a club record by giving up just four runs in four-game sweep of White Sox. 12. St. Louis Cardinals (+10) Ivan Herrera returns from IL and roster has four-ish catchers on it now. Sometimes you just gotta let Raffy cook. 14. Houston Astros (-1) Hunter Brown tied for major league lead with six wins, trails only Max Fried with 1.48 ERA. A four-game split with Dodgers – though they gave up 22 runs in the two Ls. Sweep in their Seattle home-away-from-home gets them back to .500. 17. Milwaukee Brewers (+2) Have not been swept since ugly opening series at Yankee Stadium. Bullpen posts a 0.43 ERA during 6-0 homestand. 19. Texas Rangers (-5) Corey Seager's barking hamstring might put him on the IL. 20. Cincinnati Reds (-8) Real feast-or-famine vibe to this offense. 21. Atlanta Braves (-1) Spencer Strider almost back from hamstring injury. 22. Tampa Bay Rays (-5) 11-17 in their temporary Steinbrenner Field digs. 23. Athletics (+1) Luis Severino has the Yolo County yips: His home ERA balloons to 6.75. 24. Washington Nationals (-3) Worst bullpen in baseball (7.13 ERA) makes team look far less competitive than it is. Have lost eight of 11 series, with two splits. 26. Los Angeles Angels (-) Matthew Lugo gets first major league hit, homer over weekend. Sandy Alcantara loses five consecutive starts for first time in career. Affable Don Kelly wins first game as manager. 29. Chicago White Sox (-) Tim Elko's first major league hit a big one: Go-ahead three-run homer. They fired their manager, but troubles have only just begun. The USA TODAY app gets you to the heart of the news — fast.

Sabathia Passes on Expected Role
CC Sabathia has managed to keep himself busy since he retired after the 2019 season. The former New York Yankees' ace has two jobs now, working for the Yankees as an advisor and for MLB. He's taken up golf, he's being a proud dad and he has this thing at the end of July that has him writing an acceptance speech. The future Hall of Famer told the New York Post, he's happy with his post-playing schedule, so do not expect him to come back to the ballpark regularly like other players. Former New York Yankees starting pitcher CC Sabathia© Kim Klement Neitzel-Imagn Images Sabathia made it clear he will not be jumping into the YES broadcast booth like former players David Cone, Paul O'Neill, or John Flaherty. Advertisement . 'I don't think I'm made out for TV or broadcasting,' the former Yankees ace told the New York Post during a sit‑down about his Xyzal partnership. Sabathia is charting a different path. 'Maybe I'll do podcasting… ten years from now,' he said. He did one for years with YES broadcaster Ryan Rucco, but that ended in 2023. For now, he's focusing on family time, charity work and his CC Sabathia Hall of Fame 2025 festivities. So why CC Sabathia isn't joining YES Network? He's tasted the freedom of being retired after years of structured baseball life. 'I don't want to do anything every single day,' he explained. 'It's a long season and it's back on the road. I'm out on that.' Advertisement Sabathia was a workhorse over his 19 years in the big leagues. He literally pitched until his body broke down, dislocating his shoulder on the mound in 2019. He gave it all, especially in the playoffs. So, the big lefty deserves as much rest as he wants now.
