Detroit — When the Tigers hit a wall, at least literally, it's not going to sting as bad.
New Tigers president Scott Harris gave a walking tour of the new fences in the outfield at Comerica Park, with new dimensions in center field, shorter fences in right-center and right field, and new, safety-first padding. The wall hadn't been completed as of last week, but was finished in time for Thursday's home opener.
The outfield fences, which long have been criticized by media and fans, were a top priority shortly after Harris took over as team president last fall.
