“Could easily rob a homerun standing on top of the hill…” at 436 feet out I think the hill already did that

I love ballpark quirks.

Ponce de Leon Park in Atlanta once had a magnolia tree out in center that was actually in the field of play until they moved the fences in. Although the stadium is long gone, the tree is still there.

They replaced it for a camera in the outfield.

I remember back in the early 2000's Lance Berkman had no issue fielding tals hill

I didn't have an issue with the hill, I had an issue with the FLAG POLE! NOBODY thought that a FLAG POLE IN PLAY was an issue?

The Isotopes park, the Albuquerque minor league affiliate for the Rockies, had the hill removed after the 2022 season "out of concern for player safety" Never heard of any injuries and saw plenty of games played there with nothing bizarre taking place when the ball went that deep.

Tal’s hill was great! We need more unique features in ballparks. That’s what makes it cool to visit each of them versus NBA arenas and NFL stadiums which are all essentially the same experience.

In MLB the show 13 the year Houston moved to the AL west i was playing as the Rangers a Houston player hit a ball on to the Hill . The Rangers outfielder i was controlling hurt himself as i dived and caught the ball then as he hit the ground he got hurt .

The idea was cool and unique, but seemed like more trouble than it was worth

The remove a hill over safety, yet the brick wall in Wrigley is just fine.

I loved that hill.

I miss that so much!

I miss it!

I hate they did that taking away Tals Hill. I love fences with distance like the old days. I commend Baltimore for building the great wall of Baltimore.

I’m pretty sure a long time ago Fenway park has something similar but it went the entire way of the green monster in left field. Personally I think think it sounds awesome

i really liked the hill and pole. loved playing mlb video games at Enron Field.

In Forbes Field there was not only a flagpole but also light towers and even the batting cage in the outfield.

I miss this! It was a cool little quirk. I wish they could have kept it around just out of play for safety

i've gotten a lot of inside the park homeruns there in MLB the show/playstaion. great times.
