No Mariner has ever hit for the cycle at Safeco (or whatever it's called). #faggywink
Put astroturf in the power alleys at Safeco. That would do wonders for more extra base hits.
Outfield too small already (with no weird angles or alcoves), and people want to move the fences in even further.
Double post with the first article that came up:
MLB Outfield Walls, Ranked
Measurements, in feet (L-R, dead center in bold): 331, 378, 401, 381, 326
Seattle’s ballpark used to be one of the most pitcher-friendly in baseball. Specifically, a cavernous left-centerfield power alley allowed more doubles (and way more triples) to righthanded batters than to lefties. But the Mariners moved in the fences in that part of the park by up to 17 feet before the 2013 season, which has produced more homers, even though T-Mobile remains a pitcher’s park. Left-center is still roomier than right-center, though, and so righties still pick up significantly more triples.
