    The Western Metal SC building was historic to SD and the initial plans was to get rid of it but the architects decided to incorporate and build the stadium design from the building. They actually had to turn the stadium more northward because of it. I think it's a cool feature and it's interesting the impact the building had on the construction of Petco Park. My favorite stadium in MLB!

      Tal's Hill was always foolish, a *twee*, artificial attempt to recreate some of the real individuality and personality of the old parks. It was like someone who one day starts wearing a derby hat, with a, "Loot at me! I'm a character" attitude. Wiser heads prevailed and the Astros got rid of it, along with that ridiculous light pole on the playing field.

    This is why Baseball is pretty much the only sport where home field advantage actually matters significantly. I always thought it was so awesome how every stadium has it's own unique quirk that can potentially make a drastic change to how hitters/fielders approach each game, with the home field team obviously having the advantage of knowing how to play the terrain. Wish other sports were like that

      Originally they were going to tear down the building when petco was built, but they changed their mind at the last minute. They had to move the build from over a block away to incorporate it into the ball park.
      There are a lot of great things about petco Park, but the western metal building is one of the coolest.

    Fenway was built around Ted Williams they put the bull pen where it is so hitting it out was closer or easier. I think they should rotate having the HR Derby at Fenway, PNC park, and Giants stadium maybe add Camden yards and Wringly. They got the best targets in my opinion.

I've seen guys drill it upper deck, but when I saw that HR I was like damn what a shot. Being there even now with the Padres fences being brought in 15 feet a few years ago, and it is still a tough park. Definitely would be defined as a "pitchers park" whereas somewhere like Coors Field the ball flies out of the park. Baseball ⚾ is almost here!

    Petco (Padres stadium) also has the "Park in the Park" just beyond the right field stands. You can bring a picnic blanket or folding chairs, has access to bathrooms, a hot dog stand, and mini baseball field for the kids to play around on. Cost like $5 to get in. Great if you're in downtown for dinner and just want to catch a few innings for cheap.

      Yes, if they stop and throw their hands up the play gets marked as dead and it becomes a ground rule double so the baserunners can only advance 2 bases at the most. If they try to go and get the ball then the play is still live and there's about a 90% chance the batter will get a triple or better.
      It's one of the few times giving up is actually the right play.
