Can't tell the players without a program

By Eric Sorenson - February 09, 2007

My scorecard is starting to look like chicken scratch because six pinch hitters were used by the two teams in the 6th inning alone. Including one pinch hitter earlier by A&M and a defensive replacement for ASU now in the top of the 7th, eight replacement players have entered this game.

Strange things about the stadium. The panels beyond the outfield fence don't close all the way. There are large gaps in them that allow the outside temperature to sift into the ball park. Also, for a modern stadium, there are no cup holders on the chairs. You'd figure that was a gimme at any new park. Have I mentioned the hill in center field? Yep, the center field fence in dead center goes to 436, with a grass "ramp" up to it. One of the flag poles is placed within the field of play.The fake train that rides above the outfield fence has a "load car" that appears to have pumpkins in it. Anybody got an answer for that one? And finally, the aluminum bats make a cool echo when the ball is hit in here.
