Lowering the CF wall at Citi. But why?
Now that the Mets have confirmed that the 16-foot cutout in front of the Home Run Apple will be split in half to be uniform with the remainder of the eight-foot high centerfield wall, the question is why. Such a small alteration is not going to make much of a difference in the home-run production at Citi Field, even though I do recall David Wright knocking a couple of deep drives off that cutout -- much to his frustration.
At the very least, the wall will look better -- and less like the Batmobile from that campy 60s TV show. With the black and orange, it's an uncanny resemblance, right?
