For ballpark related news, this is the ultimate site:

Photos of 51 MLB and 343 minor league parks are here:

Munsey and Suppes may be the best all-encompassing info site, based mostly on the book Green Cathedrals I believe:

A similar site, but with more pictures, especially for old MLB parks:

Sorry about repeating ballparks of baseball…
Here’s a blog for someone who may draw park diagrams even better than Clem, but only for historical parks:

Another good minor league picture site:

Yes, the Clem’s Baseball is a great site, I found a lot of good info there on ballparks when I was making my diagrams for Hit Tracker (though I did find that Clem’s diagrams are *almost* to scale, but not exactly so). I especially like the feature that shows the changes in the ballpark layout over the years.
If you’re into ballpark photos, this is the best site out there:

For a bit more info on the ballparks, aside from layout, this is a good one as well:
