Posted April 10, 200520 yr Link 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...
April 10, 200520 yr Miguel Cabrera's HR was NOT 440 whatever it was. Either that distance or the Galaragga estimate is incorrect.
April 10, 200520 yr Cabs is wrong. Galarragas for sure went 500+ 736967[/snapback] IF Galarragas's did go 529 then Cabrera's must be close to 460-480.
April 10, 200520 yr Don't worry, Marlin pitchers are planning to actually measure it sometime this week.

April 11, 200520 yr Cabs is wrong. Galarragas for sure went 500+ 736967[/snapback] Cabs' had to be at least 485 if Galarragas was 529.
April 11, 200520 yr That's the case for a lot of stadiums....In Philly Citizen's Bank Park is miss labeled in all directions.
April 11, 200520 yr That's the case for a lot of stadiums....In Philly Citizen's Bank Park is miss labeled in all directions. 737061[/snapback] 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.
