What is your least favorite MLB stadium feature/ground rule?

I’ll start: the baskets on the outfield walls at Wrigley Field. It stretches far beyond the wall causing for some cheap dongs that don’t even clear the wall and don’t allow an outfielder a chance to rob it. The ball should have to clear the wall. This is no issue for a player like THE JUDGE, but it can be problematic in regards to the integrity of the game otherwise. The catwalks at Tropicana Field are dumb too. Level that dump of a stadium and move the Rays to Nashville.
Anyway, what say tMSB? I’ll hang up and listen.

Not there anymore, but a Twins fan, the ground rules in the Metrodome were always wild!

The baskets are a good thing to have when you have folks like Jeffrey Maier going to games

The ladder at Fenway that’s in play, balls take some weird bounces on that thing.

All unique mlb stadium features are cool. For that reason, the fact that Houston removed Tal’s Hill is my least favorite.

Stadium quirks are awesome, but the hill was the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen in baseball.

Sounds like right field at Yankee Stadium

I loved it
The few times it actually came into play were lolz

Removing the hill should’ve been the first sign that they were cheating.

All of your posts involve Aaron Judge and random words in all caps. You must be 8 years old.

Aside from the bull pens in the Polo Grounds being in fair territory, the rule that if you hit a HR through the second story glass windows in center field it was a ground rule double 
It never happened obviously.

The only MLB stadium without a traditional left field foul pole is a very cool architectural aspect to the stadium in San Diego. That unique construction also created an excellent sports trivia question.

Houston, where the left center field wall between the Crawford boxes and where the hill was is confusing and blends in with the actual stadium wall… anything anywhere that’s only marked by a yellow line

This back when a Willie Mays caliber player MAY have made 6-figures it was dumb. If that hill was still there? Got got 5year 200+ million dollar guys running full speed into it.
I was at the game when they had Biggio playing center?? He ran straight into it and damn near scorpioned into it. He pops up and looks back behind him like a guy who tripped on a crack in a sidewalk that only he sees. No buddy. You didn’t trip on a twig on the ground. It was that big fricking hill.

This isn’t a least favorite but to the poster’s point about removing things. This one I actually think is fine. But I know many that HATE it.
In Camden Yards, the left field used to be another 20-30 feet in. They actually moved the left field back and gave up ticket sales so pitchers would want to go to Baltimore more often in free agency.
The reason being was in 2019 the Orioles gave up the most HRs in MLB history by a decent margin, most of them to LF.
I like the move back. Although I know Ryan Mountcastle and recently Pete Alonso likely don’t given how many long flies to LF they’ve had.

I respect his troll and still think it’s another version of boom.
I just feel bad for Judge. One of the best hitters of our generation, apparently a great dude and teammate, and still hasn’t earned his stripes.

They call it the Aaron James Judge Memorial Wall because they moved it back specifically because THE JUDGE kept taking them yard. Now THE JUDGE continues to take them yard, but at least they tried.
