So the GIANTS have LEVI’S® 501 night. Tickets for $5.01
I can't believe other teams don't have similar promotions ... ?

Standing room tickets ran my wife just about a 100 bucks per tickets
Yeah, I suspect it was due to the fact it was the yankees. I really don't know how she procured the tickets - they weren't resales/scalpers.
Plate discipline is always a really good thing to see in a young hitter. The more you make a pitcher work, the more likely he will make a mistake you can drive, or you earn a free pass. One other thing I noticed about Matos is when he draws a walk, he gets fired up.
And another dramatic victory last night, culminating in a walkoff Splash Hit by Yaz.
I LOVE Fenway park! LOVE IT! One of my favorite venues next to old Yankee stadium. I was fortunate enough to see both teams play at their respective ballparks. For the Yankees, at both the new and old stadiums. Next up for me is a Chicago Cubs day game. Something about the old stadiums/ballparks that really does it for me.
Then your next one should be Dodger Stadium, now the third oldest in MLB.
I don't like the short left field with the Green Monster at Fenway. It's the most unusual field in MLB. I wonder if playing half their games there actually has a negative impact on the Red Sox. The rest of their games are on fields that are much different.
wow!
I can honestly say I've never heard anyone say that!
Hence the beauty of Fenway!
Old Tiger Stadium and Old Comiskey were beautiful and I had the pleasure of seeing them both.
They win more then they lose at home ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I don't think there is any negative impact to the green monster.
Its a beautiful park with so much history and the green monster is iconic. I love that there is so much interesting quirks with MLB stadiums, it makes the sport that much more interesting and fun to watch
Been to Dodger stadium way to many times! Fun place... I live in LA County, so between them, the Angels, and Padre's, I am good!
Don't get me wrong, my favorite spot is in the outfield! Good times!
I don't like the fact that baseball stadiums don't have the same uniform shape, size, dimensions, etc. I really find it to be odd/bizarre/annoying.
It would be like an NFL stadium in Denver was 110 yards while the one in New England was 90 yards.
You're odd and bizarre.
This one comment is the most offensive post I've ever seen on here. Follow another sport and keep your thoughts to yourself.
That's the beauty of baseball, always has been always will be unless some other idiots think like you...

On June 18, 1975, At Tiger Stadium 23-year-old center fielder Boston Red Sox rookie Fred Lynn drives in 10 runs, helping the Boston Red Sox to a 15-1 demolition of the Detroit Tigers.
In the opening inning, the left-handed batting Lynn drilled a three-run homer off Joe Coleman. The next inning, he blasted another home run off the Detroit starter, this time a two-run shot that bounced off the roof in right. The score had grown to 8-1 against Lerrin LaGrow in the third inning when Lynn tripled over Dan Meyer’s head in left, sending two more runners home.
Lynn slowed to a single and an out in his next two at-bats. But with two on in the ninth, he hammered a Tom Walker pitch into the upper deck in right. The made the final score 15-1, with Lynn personally accounting for 10 runs with a single, triple, and three home runs. Lynn’s 16 total bases tied an American League record first set in 1925 by another center fielder – Tiger legend Ty Cobb. His 10 RBI’s came one short of Tony Lazzeri’s AL record of 11 in a game.
Lynn will go on to win the American League’s Rookie of the Year Award and the Most Valuable Player Award.

I was a huge Fred Lynn fan back in the day. Thanks for sharing this. Great memories.FROM FB:

Sorry I wasn't more specific. I assumed it would be clear that the potential negative impact would be on the road for the Red Sox since they play half their games on a smaller field.
Some stadiums are too "quirky" but can do something about it. I think Fenway is too hemmed in (I didn't walk all the way around it when I was there) to make any changes. But, their fans would revolt at the suggestion of change.
It is funny you mention the Pat's as having a shorter distance... almost like they were cheating or something!
Fenway is amazing. Love that stadium. I love for all of it's quirkness lol.
I was also a huge Fred Lynn fan when I was growing up. He could do it all, but injuries derailed him enough to keep him from achieving Hall of Fame numbers.
10 in a row for the Giants, partially aided by another controversial call at home plate that was overturned. The "catching blocking the plate" rule is getting as fussy as the "hand ball in the penalty area" in soccer, subject to endless tweaking and reinterpretation and confusion for everyone.
In re baseball field of play dimensions: what is the point of wanting to standardize field dimensions? To create a uniform playing experience at all ballparks? That's impossible, as baseball is hugely affected by atmospheric conditions in a way that no other team sport is. If Oracle Park in San Francisco and Coors Field in Denver had the exact same dimensions, they would still play radically different from each other.
