I love it!

Wow, that is so much better than this. Can you imagine 5700 sea green junipers?! Talk about a monoculture. They used to have Picea mariana when the stadium first opened, but I guess big league hitters prefer junipers to spruce.

Not just a nice batter's eye but that is also part of the Rockie's bullpen (top of your pic).

Here's another view...

When called on, the pitchers walk around the back of the falls to a gate behind that last spruce on the left.

Now we know the secret to distracting hitters! Instead of foam fingers we should get small spruce trees to take home after the game :/

I noticed no back stops behind the warm up plates.

The catchers better have good gloves or they'll be searching for balls in the bushes. :-)

...and with so many pungens, there'd be a price for passed balls.

Bill, I really think that commentary belongs in the Shrub forum. ;)
