From looking at these photos, it looks like citifield has absolutely no foul territory in the outfield. I know it is far away, but take a look at the overhead shots.
Yes, It looks very tight along the lines, somewhat like Fenway, but a bit more foul territory aroud the infield. This probably favors the pitchers a bit.
Ironic, since the bullpen was ripped out sometime in late August.
Hi-oh!
Actually it was removed by a taxi driver 7/31/06.
It has never been the same since.

Enjoy saying that while you can… soon you’re going to have to say Tou-Citi
Sad to see the old girl going down….loved that image of Mike and Tom waving goodbye…I’m very happy the players will get a fancy new field and locker area, but I will miss Shea; oh yes, I will miss it like I miss my youth and the joy of baseball when it was less business and more emotion…
I could be wrong about this, but in the last shot it looks like there are 7 flagpoles set up on the RF plaza. I guess those will be for our 7 playoffs appearances, but honestly, I never liked celebrating the “1999 Wild Card & NLDS Winners.”
Does that mean every time the Mets make the playoffs they are going to install a new flagpole? Seems kinda silly (I know, trolls will insert jokes here).
I kinda liked the simplicity of the 2 Pennants and 2 WS banners flying in CF at Shea. Not that division titles are unimportant, but the other way seems a bit more cluttered.
