We knew that Tropicana Field East had been modeled after that ballpark in the Bronx, with right field dimensions very friendly to home run hitters, but this is the first game we have really seen it in action.
If you love the long ball, I guess you’ll enjoy this year.
Tonight’s game featured 6 homeruns! Only two belonged to the Rays, but since one of those was a grand slam (off the bat of Jose Caballero) its significance was far greater. And I’ll admit those Rays home runs were basically lucky fly balls, clocking in at 95.
