Heather.. have ya heard of Gary, Indiana...?? That would be the murder capital. And the park isn't in a bad area. No worse then a lot of others I've been to.
Nope! It's Detroit, Not Gary.
What does a city's murder rate have to do with baseball? Chicago had more homicides than NY City in '02..... and NY City probably has about 5-6 million more residents than Chicago does. You didn't post about how you would have to bring a gun to USCF if you had tickets to the AllStar Game here.
And, FYI, when comparing murder rates, are you going by total murders or by per capita? Depending on what statistics you read, the top 3 are..... in no particular order..... Gary, In., St. Louis, Mo., and Detroit, Mi. LA and Chicago round out the top 5, once again, depending on how the statistics are compiled.
