RFK stadium...pitcher/hitter friendly???

[riverrat]

which is it? anyone care to comment?

RFK used to be a pretty decent pitchers park last time the Senators were there. I haven't seen any announcements on if the configuration will change though.

I'm pretty sure it's pitcher friendly.

there was a thread about this a couple of months ago and people were saying that it would be a pitcher friendly park. cuz it's a football stadium i guess you can compare with pro player stadium down in florida. but we only know when the dimensions come out. back in the 60's they were 335 down left and right, 410 to center, and 385 to the gaps.

Too bad the Nationals dont have any pitchers

what park were some veteran all stars playing in quite a few years ago (80's ??) when luke appling (around 70 yo at the time) hit a HR down the LF line which was something like 257 ft from home plate..the nationals aren't playing there are they ? anybody remember this ? Tavish, maybe

Yeah, it was at RFK but it used a different field configuration than how the normal stadium is set-up. He was hit it off of Warren Spahn in the Oldtimers game.

RFK is going to be a major hitters park.

RFK is going to be a major hitters park.

I doubt it. RFK is huge so there will be a lot of foul ground unless they add a ton of seats.

Says who ... I'm 90% sure it's a pitcher's park.
