Give us a report when you get back, please!?

Interesting...this is what I found out:

Batted ball that strikes either of the lower two catwalks (known as the 'C-Ring' and the 'D-Ring'), including any lights or suspended objects attached to either of those catwalks as well as any angled support rods that connect the 'C-Ring' to the masts that support the 'D-Ring' in fair territory: Home Run.


If it goes straight up, it could be an out if caught. Pop fly ball. It has certain perimeters it has to make to be a home run.

I think the Braves are depressed. So many of their star players are on the IL. They can't get a run to save their lives, except for Marcell Ozuna, and you can't win a baseball game with only one productive batter.

Have you all seen the Capital One commercial with the "Peaches" (actors) playing a scene from A League of their Own? "There's no crying in baseball!" Apparently there's no crying over credit cards either - oh wait, that's an oxymoron.
