Grass between the bases

Which, if any, MLB stadiums have grass between the bases?

I’m watching the Mets vs Marlins playing at Hiram Bithorn Stadium on ESPN this evening and noticed grass between the bases and it looked different to me.

Was wondering if any MLB stadium had that and what is the advantage or disadvantage of that.

Only Toronto remains having that. Most of the time I recalled, it was used for the teams who had artificial turf like the Cardinals, Phillies, Pirates, Reds, and Astros when they had their cookie cutter parks. Minnesota had that at the Metrodome last year and that is now gone obviously.

From what I have seen, it made balls go faster on the ground meaning if it gets to the outfield, the singles in grass parks could turn into doubles or triples.

That is my understanding.
