I know this is just for me (and maybe, possibly, a few others), but I am heartbroken over the new infield in Toronto.
The reason why is that, for me, the Astros should play in a dome with the Tequila Sunrise jerseys. I even played with them for a whole season (162 games, fantasy draft, won the season and World Series) playing in the Metrodome. Well, here is where the problem is; I have been waiting for years to use the Skydome as a mimic for the Astrodome. The dimensions on field are almost identical, and the only reason I never used it before is the sun.
It is the only open-air stadium where you could not choose weather, so the sun always shined. When it FINALLY happens that it becomes domed (optional), THEY TAKE OUT THE ASTROTURF!
I could've used it any other year, but we couldn't choose weather. Now I can close the damned thing, AND IT DOESN'T MATTER (to me, anyway).
Minute Maid Park will never be home to the Astros, not the ones I remember, and I finally could play domed ball with astroturf, and the BLUE JAYS screwed me by changing the infield to grass and dirt. AAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!
If I remember correctly, that means there are no more "turf" fields
with sliding pits in the MLB.
I wish they would make ONE generic stadium, in the vain of Veteran, Three-Rivers, Riverfront, Jack Murphy or Astrodome, and make it retractable roof. That way we could have a quasi-DOME stadium or multi-purpose stadium, like a lot of us watched growing up.
Just ONE...
