Bud needs to look at this!



I see that slow-as-molasses (0 for 6 in steal attempts last year) Aubrey Huff of the Giants hit an inside-the-park home run at AT&T Park in San Francisco yesterday. He hit a ball which struck an arch on the right field wall and then bounced at a weird angle and landed FAR FAR away from home plate or any fielder. Apparently this happens periodically in this park.

What the?!

You don't see Ryan Howard hitting inside-the-park home runs in Philadelphia!

You don't see Prince Fielder legging out home runs like this in Milwaukee!

Heck, you don't even see speedy little Juan Pierre doing this in Chicago!

What is to stop the Giants from practicing every day during batting practice to hit this spot? If you hit it, then home run. If you miss it and the ball goes over the fence, then home run.

How is this fair?!

Bud Selig, you are on the clock on this one.
