I woke up this morning to the news that the Mets are lowering the CF fence from 16 feet to 8.
My initial reaction was “what happened to pitching and defense” but when I took a look at Citi to refresh my memory, the fence is only that high right in front of the fake Apple.
It’s an odd move that’s not that big of a deal. It makes the park less quirky that’s about it.
I hope they leave the high fence in left and build a team around pitching.
