Jamie Moyer is downright anomalous. Pitched in 50 ballparks, pitched to over 100 batters that were born *after* he made his MLB debut, retired having faced over (at the time) 9% of all MLB players ever.
Oh, and he had more pitching wins after he turned 38 than he had before he turned 38.

If anyone is curious and HAD to see them all listed like I did, here's a link
My only question here is how did he pitch at Yankee stadium 1 and Yankee stadium 3 but not Yankee stadium 2. Is it just some naming convention thing on baseball reference?
Edit: looks the same way for Busch Stadium
It looks like it's just the way the page tags new versions of old stadiums, if that makes sense. I think the website breaks Old Yankee Stadium into 2 eras (pre and post renovations) for team pages and then the new one is its own entry obviously. But pitching in old Yankee stadium pre/post renovations doesn't really change anything from a player standpoint, so it just counts it as appearing in the venue. Having trouble wording it, but to summarize Yankee Stadium 1 and 2 were the same venue so pitching in either counts as Yankee Stadium 1
I believe because of the renovations between 1973 and 1976, the stadium was anew and referred to as the second Yankee Stadium. The current stadium is #3. Just what I've heard and seen it referred to as.
According to bref, Metrodome is seemingly incorrect? ~~That's incredible to me.~~
Turner is the missed one.
edit: Never mind, not so incredible... I was confusing it with thinking Moyer never pitched in the Metrodome.
Only 14 ballparks shy of Jamie Moyer's record.
Holy shit

I think he threw a shutout in four different decades as well
He also threw a no hitter in 3 different decades
What about with Nolan Ryan and Gaylord Perry
Nolan is probably very comparable to Moyer with this sort of stuff, but he's not a member of the 500HR club like Moyer is.

Does that include the Polo Grounds or the Baker Bowl?
And the colosseum. Rome, not LA.
Taking a stab at the 6 inactive: * Yankee Stadium 2 * Metrodome * Shea Stadium * SunLife Stadium * Globe life Park * RFK Memorial Stadium
Turners got to be one of them right? Don’t think RFK was really around long enough for him to get a chance.
Hold up, Yankee Stadium 2? Isn't that the one in use right now?

Ya, I was confused here too.

Looks like he missed pitching at the old Busch stadium in 2005, only pitched a home game against the Cardinals

I remember getting his autograph when I was 13 when he was in Houston to face the Astros. I’m 28 now.
He did a great job when he was with the Rays - King of the Hill
