How the heck did the Comiskey architects not decide to have Chicago's dowtown skyline in centerfield??  Mind-boggling.

Ever heard the term southpaw?

 

Baseball stadiums are supposed to point E to NE in CF.

is this considered a pitchers park or a hitter park?

 

but it looks sweet

 

It's considered "fair" by those who built it, which is what they always say. There is no way of knowing until a season pans out.

I don't remember what the former Busch Stadium was considered, but apparently this has the same dimensions.

 

That's a good question. Over the past six years, it's varied from favoring hitters to favoring pitchers.

 

In 2005, it favored hitters slightly.

 

In 2004, it favored pitchers.

 

In 2003, it favored pitchers.

 

In 2002, it heavily favored pitchers.

 

In 2001, in favored pitchers slightly.

 

And, in 2000, it played pretty neutral.

 

So, if New Busch plays the same as Old Busch, I'd call it a slight pitcher's park, but pretty close to neutral.

"I have the entire experience documented on film and will include a DVD copy of it with purchase of this one of a kind collectable. On the DVD you will see the gates open in front of me, I then am the first to get my ticket scanned, then you walk with me as I go to the concession stand, and then you see the entire hot dog transaction. I purchased two hot dogs (I ate the other)."

Im sorry, this guy is awesome.

:lolhitting

 

It's all BS, but imagine this guy holding a hot dog for the entire game for this.
