WASHINGTON D.C. -- If the Giants do ultimately decide to remodel their ballpark this offseason, you might expect Brandon Belt to be the first one lined up in Triples Alley with a jackhammer.
Nobody has had tougher luck at Oracle Park in recent years than Belt. There's no precise way to know just how many home runs the 421-foot alley has cost Belt, but it's a fair to assume that he would have at least a couple of 20-homer seasons by now, possibly as many as four, with more forgiving dimensions. Just look at what happened last Friday night.
