Re: 4/18 MLB discussion
I was just about to post that the cubs game looked suspect at best. Hadn’t seen the postponement announcement yet.
Looks like fine weather (relatively speaking) everywhere else on the card today, and it might actually feel like spring by the weekend in the Midwest.
I’m looking at a couple of live dogs today in Boston and Detroit.

Re: 4/18 MLB discussion
Huge amount of foul ground in Puerto Rico.
The distance from home plate to the backstop must be longer than any MLB stadium.
Question: Shortest distance in MLB from home plate to the backstop?
Answer: Coors Field (about 58 feet).

Re: 4/18 MLB discussion
I remember in LL the distance was like 8 feet or so, LOL.
Taking off from 3rd on a wild pitch only to have pitcher standing there waiting as the ball bounced right back to him.

Re: 4/18 MLB discussion
And how about the four-foot outfield fences which were only 200 feet from home plate?
I'd tell you about my home runs in Little League but I don't want get mocked/skewered by the EOG peanut gallery.

Re: 4/18 MLB discussion
Haha... yeah that's exactly how big the fences were where I played, 200 feet.
I hit a couple Texas leaguers that drifted out from time to time.
And we already mock you, go ahead and give us the calls on your HR records.

Re: 4/18 MLB discussion
Did anyone see the game between Minnesota and Cleveland? I know the game went under by a half run, but this is supposed to be a fairly good park for HRs, at least down the line. Supposedly field turf surface. Berrios is going for the Twins today, and he's back pitching in his home land.

Re: 4/18 MLB discussion
Ball carried well to right field.
Loads of foul ground everywhere, however.

Re: 4/18 MLB discussion
Truth be told, only one homer in my Little League career.
It came against a neighhorhood nemesis, Jimmy Mazzuca.
And it was a lucky homer.
Our Little League field had a big wooden centerfield scoreboard that was operated manually by kids at the park.
The kids would hang numbers for every half-inning while sitting on a small platform attached to the scoreboard which sat about five or six feet from the ground.
My only homer barely cleared the four-foot fence, going underneath the scoreboard platform.
I trotted around the bases as if I hit a majestic 400-foot blast.
