Last fall the Astros announced they would be looking at ways to change Tal's Hill. They didn't say they would flatten it, get rid of it or move the flag pole, simply that they were going to change it. This news came wrapped in the discussion of other possible changes to Minute Maid Park- a upgrade in the design and layout of the Club level, addition of a club Hall of Fame, change int he placement of the bullpens.
This all came to mind last night when the Orioles took an early lead over the Astros with a hit to centerfield that rolled up Tal's hill.
