Ok, I get that they wanted to add a bit of life to the ballparks, but I think they might have gone a bit overboard with the birds. First, they are always seemingly only ever behind the centerfield wall, which is a bit odd. But more importantly, why are their shadows so large? They show up on the batters eye 400+ feet away like they are bloody pterodactyls! They are huge!

Maybe I am unobservant in real life, but I am pretty certain I can't see a birds shadow 400 feet away, it would be tiny. All in all this is generally a silly point, but in certain stadiums (Camden comes to mind) it is pretty distracting having a giant black shadow fly across the batters eye just behind the pitchers arm. Maybe just tone it down a bit?
