Reddit mentions of Pitchers of Beer: The Story of the Seattle Rainiers

If you want to experience Sick's Stadium, drive north 3 hours into Vancouver BC.

Fun Baseball fact:

Nat Bailey Stadium (home of the NWL Class-A Short Season Vancouver Canadians) was built using the same blueprints used to construct Sick's Seattle Stadium. What's more, the scoreboard (and I read somewhere the lights too) was salvaged and trucked up north where they were installed at Nat Bailey.

Unfortunately, Nat Bailey Stadium underwent a major interior renovation a few years ago, which modernized the concourses. I know they replaced one of the two scoreboards, so I'm not too sure if the old scoreboard from Sick's is still there.

Have a look

The Nat back in the day, a little easier to see the resemblance

edit: If you're interested in the history of professional baseball in the Seattle area (pre MLB) then you should read Pitchers of Beer which is a great history of the Seattle Rainiers. It also has lots of info on Sick's Stadium in it.
