Alright, one more.
TIMELINE: A couple years back. When they are designing that ballpark in Milwaukee.
"Hey! Nobody, and I mean NOBODY either currently does or ever will want to play for us. Plus, we have no money to pay people with because less people live in Wisconsin than California. (That's our fault, not the game's. Our bad.) Anyway. Here's my brainstorm. OK? OK? OK? Dude. Hitter's Park. Eh? Eh? HITTER'S PARK!!!!! So now the teams in the NL that guys DO like to play for can come smash one highlight-reel, mind-boggling homer after another, while the guys we will end up with will whiff 170 times each.
They should have made the dimensions of that stadium at least 500 feet all the way around.
(Ah, well. At least from the looks of it, it certainly seems like a cool place to catch a game. It's just too bad that the tradition they had going in the 80s melted away with a few bad decisions and the game's inherent revenue problems.)
