    Just beyond the right-field wall in San Francisco lies McCovey Cove, an arm of the San Francisco Bay. Fans in kayaks often gather hoping to snag a 'splash hit' home run, making it a truly unique spectacle.

    In Houston, a replica 56,000-pound locomotive, loaded with giant oranges, travels along an 800-foot track above the left-field wall every time an Astros player hits a home run. It's a cool nod to the park's history as a train station.

    Talk about luxury! In right-center field in Phoenix, you can actually watch a game from a swimming pool and spa. It's the only one in the Majors and perfect for those hot Arizona days.
