Some people are of the thought that the rule minimizes wear and tear on a pitcher from discouraging managers and players to try to pitch around a batter during an intentional walk. |

Okay, Frank - I have one for you:
Assuming that, for the few late afternoon or 'twilight'- scheduled games, there would be a natural advantage, at least for a portion of that game, for batters if home plate was facing east and for pitchers if home plate was facing west due to the direct sunlight and the glare that accompanies that. Presuming, based on that previous assumption, that a truly neutral ballpark would be sure to have home plate face either directly north or south, why isn't there are rule to so assure that all parks are designed to fit this north-south detail? That might not exactly qualify as a 'stupid' question, but it is one I have pondered for a while.

Rule 1.04. It is desirable that the line from home base through the pitchers plate to second base shall run East-Northeast.
That would contradict your thinking completely. http://www.fangraphs.com/tht/lost-in...k-orientation/ |

Miller Park has a retractable roof, but is not enclosed from the setting sun due to windows, that can create "very unusual" shadows on the field of play in late afternoon games. I believe the home plate-2B axis runs NW-SE in Milwaukee, which is also unusual. You'd think this could result in a home field advantage for the "Brew Crew", if they only could figure out what that advantage is.

The layout of stadiums is by far one of the most interesting aspects of MLB baseball in my opinion.
So many unique quirks at each park. Last edited by MrSeven; 09-15-2017 at 07:08 PM. |

Absolutely!! I picked up a couple of books, 'Lost Ballparks' and 'Ballparks Yesterday & Today,' which go over all the cool aspects of the old time stadiums. Very cool stuff! (And anything that could make Shea Stadium seem like a monument on par with Mt. Rushmore is fine by me.)
