LONDON – Ian Happ was well aware of the new dimensions of the field at London Stadium. After a 2019 slugfest between the Yankees and Red Sox in the inaugural London Series, the field assembled for the Cubs and Cardinals’ bout pushed back the wall seven feet at center field, five feet at the alleys.
Happ pointed to the difference in the baseballs four years ago as another reason he didn’t expect the fireworks show from the last installment of the event, which featured 50 runs over two days.
