They brought in the fences this year.  Left field and left center aren't like
they used to be.  I guess Uncle George got tired of seeing Winfield and Baylor
hit those 420 foot outs.  I don't recall exactly how much.  After he fired
Billy (no, asshole that's not until next month), I mean Yogi, I switched
my allegiance totally toward the Mets.  Unless the Yankees keep winning -:)
