If it walks like a baseball field and talks like a baseball field…
By…then perhaps it will even begin to look like a baseball field too. Sliding Into Home has the latest photos from inside the new Yankee Stadium. The infield is nearly complete. The same cannot be said for the rest of the seating bowl, however. Take a look.
looks like more foul territory up the baselines, less behind home plate.
will be interesting to see if the new park favors hitters or pitchers.
I really think they should put more grass in left field. That’s an awfully big warning track.
it’s so Damon doesn’t get hurt running into the wall again
That actually makes a lot of sense.
It’s a good thing Abreu’s probably gone then, now balls that are 25 ft away from the wall will drop in because he’ll stop running as soon as he steps on the track.
They should have no warning track in right field, maybe Abreu would catch more balls.
… Or he’d be so overcome with fear that he just wouldn’t move. Which might actually be kind of awesome, like in The Scout when the rookie pitcher pukes on the mound.
Just FYI, Curbed has a “New Yankee Stadium” tag so you can look at all their posts re the Stadium.
