u/kozilla Chicago White Sox 16d ago

Everyone remember the Polo ground for the enormous power alley/CF dimensions, but down the lines it was one of the shortest fields ever... 279 ft to LF, 258 ft to RF. Add in the fact that lots of inside the park homers become possible with those power alleys and I think the park would play a lot differently than people think.

In this old game called High Heat you could have a homerun derby at polo grounds but the hits would just be home runs if u had good contact, the game didn't factor in distance so if you hit them out in center the ball would just go like 800 feet haha

Well, and I do not mean any disrespect to the Yankees, one of those pitchers was Andrew "Meatball" Heaney

58

u/Patrickrk New York Yankees 17d ago

That’s not disrespectful at all. It was a combination of a lot of things, bad pitching, players being more excited, humidity, (in my opinion) juiced balls. 16 of the 17 runs scored were by home run. Two of those homers by Anderson and one by Gardner, two guys who are not home run hitters.

158

u/UncleGoldie Chicago White Sox 17d ago

Fwiw Tim Anderson may have literally been put on this earth for the express purpose of hitting memorable walk-off HRs

Gardner hit exactly his style of home run: a screaming piss missle that barely clears a short porch in right. Seemed pretty normal to me.

I mean maybe I'm just used to it, but it's 74% humidity here (I live 20min from Field of Dreams). Could definitely be worse.

u/SuperDBallSam Chicago White Sox 17d ago

Wasn't bad this morning, but it got pretty dang humid this afternoon. (Also 20ish minutes from Field of Dreams.)

64

u/WxBlue St. Louis Cardinals 17d ago

Meteorologist here: I don't like using relative humidity (74%) to tell the story because having relative humidity of 74% when the air temperature is 50 is not "humid" at all in traditional sense. Using dew point is a much better measure on how moist the atmosphere is. The dew point is the temperature the air needs to be cooled to (at constant pressure) in order to achieve a relative humidity (RH) of 100%. As a southerner... any dew point above 70 is pretty humid, with 75 being extremely so. 80 is just soup at that point and can be found along the Gulf Coast and the Lowcountry of Carolinas.

During the game, the humidity at the nearest airport with NWS weather stations (Monticello, Iowa) was recording between 72 to 77 degrees during the game. That's pretty damn humid and can really juice up baseballs.

12

u/Ferentzfever 16d ago

Add in transpiration... an acre of corn can give off 4000 gallons of water per day... and they were smack dab in the middle of 100s of acres of corn. Having played high-school baseball in Iowa (which we play in the summer) on fields next to and/or surrounded by cornfields I can tell you, it's often much more humid on the field than in town / at the airport.

3

u/jdd32 St. Louis Cardinals 16d ago

Having been a corn detassler when I was 13, can confirm. The cornfields feel like a swamp on a humid day.

As an NHL fan this is basically what the Winter Classic was like for us. Unfortunately then the NHL started overdoing it and had at one point I believe six stadium games in a single year.

I think it would be cool to have this game in that exact location once a year, but if you do it too much it kind of loses a bit of its flair.

Then again, I can't complain too much considering the offshoot Stadium Series gave us the Flyers-Pens game at the Linc in 2019.

5

u/SuperDBallSam Chicago White Sox 17d ago

I can't speak to whether or not the balls were juiced. (And neither can anyone else in this thread.) But I gotta think the fact that they were playing on a ball field with only 8000 seats as opposed to being surrounded on all sides by a giant stadium would have some effect on how the ball would fly.

13

u/WxBlue St. Louis Cardinals 17d ago

Meteorologist here - I don't think having 8,000 seats make a big difference comparing to having 45,000 seats. At least not as huge of a difference as the Iowan humidity would make during peak corn crop. Locals there call the month of August the "corn sweat" because of how moist and humid the air get from the corn. That would really juice up baseballs.

That was a nearly flawless broadcast. They had drones flying all over and getting solid shots and not crashing. Interesting Pregame interviews and videos.

That right there is why wins/losses are basically meaningless for a pitcher. A pitcher can throw 9 innings, let up 1 run, and be credited with the loss while Hendriks can do everything in his power to blow the game, and still get credited a win.

Hi, idiot checking in. Can you do that on mobile? I can't figure it out because I am from 1927, apparently.
