Phoenix's Chase Field, from a Rangers fan's perspective

Chase Field in Phoenix might not seem like a huge draw for baseball fans on a quest to visit all the ballparks.

• It's no Wrigley or Yankee Stadium, but it's still worth a visit for its fan-friendly environment, downtown accessibility and, most importantly, its live organ performances.

Driving the news: The Rangers left Arizona 1-2 yesterday after winning the World Series there two years ago.

State of play: The ballpark, like Globe Life Field in Arlington, is angular and enclosed with a green ceiling and rafters.

• Fans can sit close to the field — and behind home plate — without shelling out for a suite. There's a pool in center field and several playgrounds throughout the park.

Flashback: Chase Field was the first U.S. ballpark with a retractable roof. It opened in 1998 for the Arizona Diamondbacks' first season.

Fun fact: The ballpark is one of a few with a full-time organist. Bobby Freeman has been the official team organist since 1998.

• Freeman amps up fans throughout the game and plays "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" during the seventh-inning stretch.
• He signs photo cards with the team's schedule to hand out to kids — and sometimes to curious adults.
