Seems like if the ball gets hit in the air to right field it goes out! Can a ball park be "Designed" to be this hitter friendly? Someones gonna sacrifice bunt one over the fence this season! :wink:

I read an article on it yesterday supposedly theres a wind current that runs threw the stadium that they have 2 physicist working on how to block it w/ netting or moving the backstop, but what gets me is the physicists were saying anything they do will really only slow the ball down by a few feet (between 6 and 8) they are also discussing, freezing the balls, or keeping the balls in a humidor to retain moister.

A lot of the batters have a real surprised look when the fly to right goes out of the park!

Mythbusters did a show on baseballs in a humidor. Im pretty sure that it made them go further. and certain parks are designed to be a hitters park

I feel like they shouldn't mess with it... if that park is now easier to hit out of, that's just how it goes... seems like BS to me if they try to change it.

You must be a Yankmees fan. Now that A-Fraud, Giambi, and the rest of the Balco crew had to give up the juice, they had to find another way for them to inflate their stats!! Might as well make it happen at home since they can't seem to do it anywhere else!
