Baseball in LA
Quote:
According to the slug on the back of the photo... the screen is 42 feet high and it's 250' (that's two hundred fifty feet!!!) down the line. Best, Jimmy BTW... the Giants won the opener 6-5. Last edited by thekingofclout; 12-09-2009 at 08:26 PM.

That's just nuts... I would loved to have seen a game there. Hard to believe there was not a better option/configuration for baseball somewhere else in So Cal in '58. I bet a slew of balls were hit into that giant net... looks like it was a "clear" monster (instead of the green monster).

Also of note...Wally Moon became very adept at slapping high fly balls down the line that would just clear the screen that were aptly named "Moon Shots".
And the oh-so-long Right/Right-Center Field Fence certainly kept the Duke out of the HOF for many years.
