LA Coliseum

[TakeMeOutToTheBallGame]

Anyone watching the Dodgers-BoSox at the LA Coliseum? It's only 201ft. down the left field line, which is shorter than the Little League World Series field in Williamsport.

I think it was also about 35 ft. longer then too.

Yeah, because the Coliseum expanded its seating, they had to bring it in even more. It's hilarious.

Yeah I was wondering why they didn't do it Polo Grounds style by skewing home plate so as to make two short porches instead of one ridiculous one
