    Glad I didn't have to play CF in the old Polo Grounds. 485 ft to dead center. What a lot of room to cover. He had no problems with it.

    Yeah, he was Amazing Mays. Polo grounds was 500 ft. until 1957, Yankee stadium [1923] was 490 ft., lots of doubles and triples for the Babe, then reduced to 461 ft. still deep. 😎

    baseball fights now are merely spectator sports - both on and off the field. A chance for a player to say hi to a friend he hasn't seen in a while.

    @TurkDawg I don't know why I found this, but Nate Colbert, a reserve for the Padres, had one pa in that game. Credited with a BB and a run. Amazingly, he returned to Atlanta for a double header on August 1st when he hit 5 homeruns and had 13 rbi's.

    Sadly, we lost Nate on January 5th, 2023. R.I.P. Nate Colbert.
