I hate Tal's Hill because it is contrived.  The features of the old ballparks had to do with the lots they were on. There was no hill there before it was added to be cute. 

contrived can be fine if the contrived nature is masked (I hate the Os, but OPACY is very well done), but the hill is just plain stupid

And Tal Smith began his career in Cincinnati when the Reds played at Crosley

Johnny and Ray just mentioned Tal.

I think so. Rather watch a 4-3 nailbiter than a 7-0 washout any day... as long as the good guys are on the right side of the score.

Do you remember when the Yankees actually had stone monuments in CF? In play?
