Why would you put a ballpark by the Ocean?

[nasty1]

Did anyone just see the replay of Barry Bonds hitting a Home Run into the Ocean? I can see watching out for the ball if your in the stands, that's just the name of the game, so to speak. At least they have warning. But, what fool would put a ballpark next to an ocean, where nobody knows when to get out of the way? It's just a matter of time before someone will be swimming & WHACK!

I don't think that's the ocean....but I've been wrong before.

it's on the bay, but no one swims there and there isn't a beach nearby.

If someone is swimming in the bay outside of Pac Bell Park in San Francisco........they got more to worry about than flying balls from the baseball games.

Sirens?

Not only that, but I believe after the first season Pac Bell Park was opened, and they had a couple of near misses with boaters almost hitting each other going after the balls. They put in a no boat zone area for the games.

Hmmmmm. I never heard about that.

It is called "the City by the Bay" afterall. And if you notice, all the people in their boats are watching the game, intently, just hoping to shag one of those bay-bound homers. There aren't many surpirses.

To be honest, I'm not much of a baseball fantic. I only care about the Yankees. And, when their not in the Series, I usually just don't watch.

Just here to wave hi to nasty1

Hi, sexy.

 

[curvacious]

I thought they had a boat or two with dogs to go fetch the balls.
