iPhone Trick – Take 2

The ballpark has a tall left field wall similar to Fenway’s Green Monster. This is the view from the seats atop the wall.

They also have a manual scoreboard. This is what it looks like behind the scenes as the operator waits for the next pitch.

The center field wall also has a small balcony that hangs out over the field. It give you an odd view of the lineups as well as a bit of vertigo.
