I remember Fulton County Stadium being the "The Launching Pad" with the highest elevation (1050' above sea level) in MLB until the Rockies came to be. Indeed as a little leaguer fortunate to play an exhibition game there I short hopped the left field wall myself. Today's youngsters are dang near hitting it 400', that short porch as it was often referred to was only 330'.Johnnys Trading Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05202597965281782849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-72253217796393749872017-07-29T11:02:50.659-07:002017-07-29T11:02:50.659-07:00I never understood that trade (Cespedes for Lester...I never understood that trade (Cespedes for Lester). Cespedes was the big bat on the team and made less money than Lester. I understand that in the postseason pitching matters most, but to go all-in that season boggles my mind. That was the same year they got rid of Addison Russel for Shark, right?Collecting Cutchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18066493614914957891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-45170508373070395012017-07-29T10:27:04.596-07:002017-07-29T10:27:04.596-07:00Steinbach over Gene Tenace?

I hate when people and since you did this it applies to you as well say coors field inflates numbers. If mlb does not have a problem with coors field then I do not think other people need to have a problem with it. I am a lifelong Rockies fan.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00597558937784356359noreply@blogger.com
