Sac-fly in Ebbetts Field.

 

o

 

Ebbetts Field was only 351 Feet in left-centerfield ........ that shot might have hit the roof at Ebbets Field.

...and another outstanding play by Broxton in the left-center field gap. I don't know how he got to that one.

Why "Pilots"? They MAKE planes in Seattle, not fly them.

Who knows?

What am I thinking of then? The one that was shaped more like a football field. And like 500' to center.

Petition MLB to keep wearing the throwbacks.

It got a “Holy smokes!?” out of Rick Rizzs.

Nice play by Broxton at the wall there. No acrobatics this time, though.

Blair would have caught that with much less drama. Maybe.

Alberto with a sliding catch in foul territory. Nice defensive inning for the Orioles. We'll be waiting another two weeks for the next such inning, so let it soak in.

The Polo Grounds ........ although, that shot would have been FAR GONE at the Polo Grounds, too.

The Polo Grounds had extremes in their fences ........ it was 483 feet to straightway center, but only 258 feet and 279 feet down each foul line, respectively.

From Wikipedia:

The "Pilots" name originated from the owner's part-time job as a harbor pilot and the city's association with the aviation industry.^[3]The team colors were royal blue and gold (with accessory red in the logo: helm and baseball seams). Seattle had long been a hotbed for minor league baseball and was home to the Seattle Rainiers, a successful team in the Pacific Coast League (PCL).

There was a lot of local sentiment to call the new team the Rainiers.

EW! Sushi is gross.

 

Where we come from we call that stuff BAIT!
