We measured the distance to the left-field wall down the line to be 327.5 feet whereas the number on the wall is 330 feet. The distance to the right-field wall down the line is 347.25 feet but is labeled as 345 feet. And, the distance to the right-field power alley wall is 369.3 feet but is labeled as 385 feet.

 

Interesting study...

The only one that really is a difference maker is right center.

Miguel Cabrera's HR was NOT 440 whatever it was. Either that distance or the Galaragga estimate is incorrect.

Cabs is wrong. Galarragas for sure went 500+

IF Galarragas's did go 529 then Cabrera's must be close to 460-480.

Don't worry, Marlin pitchers are planning to actually measure it sometime this week.

Great read.

So that means it really shouldn't be as hard for Delgado to hit HR's as previously thought.

Intresting stuff

Down the line it is still hard but in the alley yes, it isn't as hard as previously thought.

Cabs' had to be at least 485 if Galarragas was 529.

That's the case for a lot of stadiums....In Philly Citizen's Bank Park is miss labeled in all directions.

The Phillies had to move their LCF marker 10-15 ft to the right after a radio station measured it themselves and found it was marked incorrectly.

derrek lee hit quite a few out that way that just died, although he was going oppo and delgado woould be pulling so yeah i would think he's got a n easier time, especially onsiderign he's much stronger.
