Fenway Dinks Homers Elsewhere
It's not as if the Monster were 250 feet from the plate. It's about the stock distance for a left field wall, except it also goes about 40 feet in the air. A lot of the dinks that bounce off The Wall for doubles (and with a good left fielder, often only singles), would be home runs in most other ballparks, including a couple hit last night. A ball that hits the wall 15 feet above the left fielder is unlikely to be caught up with and caught in other parks.
