This is pretty cool. I was at trivia last night and there was a catagory for Women in Baseball that I am happy to say I nailed. I forgot Kim Ng was GM of the Marlins but got there via context clues.

This is also how I learned that the word umpire is derived from the Old French word for Arbitration.

If there's room for all that bullshit on top then why would you not just build a fully retractable roof for your baseball stadium in the middle of the loving desert?

The answer of course is that there's not enough room for all that poo poo, the land parcel is tiny as hell but everybody's pretending that's just not a problem because they see dollar signs at the idea of putting it on the strip.

Instead of a retractable roof, make it a dome that pops off with a fleet of helicopters plopping it down in lake mead when its not too warm out

Seems to me that even if there's adequate sun protection that the air wouldn't have a good chance to flow through and circulate, making it pretty stuffy in addition to just looking like a few terrible ideas mashed together.

The main way you can tell it's bullshit is that the stands are full

I just realized how much I'm going to miss Oakland's crazy bullpen down the line setup and enormous foul territory

The cardinals barely want to play the exciting prospects they do have, all the devil magic got used up getting pujols to 700. They’re happy to just be the equivalent of a radio station playing bumpers that talk about The Good Old Days.

They need most of the space for foul territory, to keep that colosseum feel.

This is what happens when you disrespect Cam Neely
Yeah they are highlighting the view out of left field as a selling point for the stadium but in reality that view in any stadium located at the SE corner of the tropicana lot will be completely obstructed by the current Tropicana hotel / new Ballys hotel - assuming Ballys isn't functionally bankrupt and actually knocks down the Tropicana and builds something else there as they claim they will. On a related note I don't think you could have a giant window there in reality because the sunlight would reflect off of the windows / glass curtain wall of the ballys property and be a major nuisance in during any day game in my estimation..

As a man who runs an independent weekly bar trivia night that I try to make approachable for casuals but hard enough to be competitive, drat that trivia sounds hard. What’s the context?

All the categories were themed for International Women's Month. That category was just simply Women in Baseball. They even had a question referencing a lady knuckleballer but it wasn't Yoshida.
