Texas Rangers hitter Lance Berkman, who played at Wrigley Field a number of times during his tenure with the Houston Astros, isn't a fan of the home of the Chicago Cubs.

"It's one of the worst places in baseball for, well, just about anything," Berkman said.

"I really don't like it. I read where they got approval for some more upgrades. Count me in the group of people extremely happy to see that. I guess I'm just spoiled.

"There is a tremendous history associated with it and there is something special about playing on the same field that guys like Babe Ruth did. But really, what kind of history is there? It's not like there has been one championship after another. It's mainly been a place for people to go and drink beer."

Berkman has a career .215 batting average spanning 289 at-bats in 177 games at Wrigley.
