Pittsburgh's PNC Park may be Major League Baseball's host with the most toilets, but we might never know for sure. TicketLiquidator, an online sporting-events ticket source, set out to determine the quality of MLB stadiums based on the number of toilets each one offers. After all, the company reasoned, baseball stadiums are ranked often enough by design, food quality and spectator views. So why not the number of toilets?
But, according to a press release issued by the company this week, more than half of the teams refused to provide a response to TicketLiquidator's inquiry - thereby flushing down the, um, toilet any credibility such a survey could have. "Top baseball stadiums are quick to dish about the quality of seating and luxury skyboxes, but some have decided [to keep] lavatory affairs a private matter," the release read. "In other words, for half of the teams in baseball's highest echelon, toilet capacity is taboo."

Of the teams willing to relinquish their restroom data, the Pittsburgh Pirates were ranked the highest, with a fanny-friendly 1.89 toilets for every 100 seats at PNC Park, followed by the Chicago White Sox, with 1.69 toilets per 100 seats at U.S. Cellular Field.
Here are the full rankings of teams willing to respond:1. Pittsburgh Pirates: 1.89 toilets per 100 seats2. Chicago White Sox: 1.69 toilets per 100 seats3.
