Yeah, the corners are deeper than left and right fields.

More Oakland As to Vegas posturing. This intersection of Las Vegas BLVD and Tropicana Ave where the aging Tropicana might be torn down for a new baseball stadium is famed for boasting the most hotel rooms in the world, accounting also for the New York/NY, MGM, and Excalibur.

One benefit to fast games early on is that Rocco Baldelli can't overthink how he uses his bullpen.

May be an image of 2 people and text that says 'LANKIE YAKEE Baseballer @TheBsblr In 1927, Lou Gehrig had 173 runs batted in. Gehrig batted 60 times after Babe Ruth had cleared the bases that season.'

Ruth was on base in front of him 40% of the time, minus those HRs.

I can't fathom the math that gets a team with a shit payroll to buy land on the Las Vegas strip AND building a stadium.

Idk why Piazza gets shit on.
Everyone acknowledges him as the best offensive catcher.....yet he's never top 3 in these rankings, just because he wasn't good at throwing out runners.
All of the advanced stats say he was great at everything else a catcher does (blocking, pitch-framing, etc).  
Add that to being an offensive MONSTER....and you get ranked behind guys like Carlton freakin' Fisk.
