Blog Kiosk: 4/4/2016 - Dodgers Links - Scully, Seager and Dodger Stadium Netting

As you may know there was one noticeable change at the Dodger Stadium. As mandated by the league, they have extended the netting behind the plate to go from dugout to dugout. In the past, they left a section on each side open to the elements. Now, the fans sitting there will have some protection.

BTW, per Jon Weisman at Dodger Insider, this recent change has already yielded a positive result.

In the eighth inning of last night’s game, Scott Van Slyke fouled off a Huston Street pitch. His bat splintered. A large, sharp chunk flew rapidly in the direction of the Lexus Dugout Club seats next to the Dodger dugout, but was stopped by netting.
