Wow Joe. How great is that? I don't think I knew that it was possible to get an action shot in 1888. I guess I thought (without really thinking about it) that photos at that time were still long sitting sessions in studio. What a great image and nice surprise.
And now for this question. Anyone think that maybe there were more home runs hit to that acreage in left field without the fence than there would have been with a typical-distance fence? It looks like hard liners and even ground shots that might normally bounce off a wall could go a long ways in a field with that design.
That's as cool to think about as anything. If it weren't for the loss of seating and concessions in one part of the outfield, it would be interesting to have a modern club think about such a design.
