And Fenway Park has the shortest left and right field distances of any stadium in the league. 302 and 310 feet. Nobody talks about that though. Gotta love it
@@donniedarko587 I mean, we have 420 to the triangle in center though, and the 310 to left is covered by a 37 foot wall. And right field gets to 380 pretty damn quick, like the only 302 foot hr you're gonna get is if you hit the base of Pesky's Pole, after that it gets exponentially longer (figuratively, just so y'all don't get pissed off). The 385 at London to center has a wall about the same height as Fenway's center field, so Fenway is 35 feet deeper. And what about Yankee Stadium where in right, it doesn't get to 370 until you hit the bullpen in right center? I would say Yankee stadium is way more of a joke park when it comes to dimensions, though it is a pretty damn nice stadium inside. Fans were pretty nice to us Red Sox fans in attendance
@@bmil38 that 420 is the only part of the stadium farther than Yankee Stadium. All 4 other dimensions are smaller. And those balls that land on top of the monster would be fly outs at Yankee Stadium. Bucky Dent and Aaron Boone's homers would never have happened if that were any other stadium.
two brilliant games for the London crowd with some amazing batting and plenty of runs in both games..hope we see more of baseball over here...well done to you all...hope you had fun in London...
I was there and this was an epic two days of baseball Mostly hitting in truth but I'd like to thank MLB for bringing the game to London Brilliant weekend
I have to say, this was the best possible outcome for this series. It could've been a pitching duel and possibly turned some people off, but it was a total slugfest that England won't forget any time soon.
The conspiracy theorist in me says orders may have come down from MLB to the managers to the pitchers, instructing them to lay off a bit to give the Londoners (i.e. a potentially new and lucrative market) something to get excited about. A little less integrity (that no one can ever prove) for a couple games in a 162 game season is a small price to pay if baseball makes it big in Europe (which it never will).
@@TheMrPeteChannel Yes and after that game everybody completely forgot about it. There is a lot of expats that went. Even the people who give tours of the SGG never mentioned it. Profile in media ranks with Sychronized Swimming, very very minor Sport

@@donniedarko587 hey now atleast they didn't get swept by the Orioles and lose 13-0 twice. Losing to a good team isn't that embarassing. The biggest embarasment this year is the mets, and for this week it's the Indians against the Orioles.
The over under in Game 1 was 11.5...It died in the bottom of the 1st inning.....In response bookmakers all over the world made baseball sports betting history by making the biggest over/under total at 16 runs...By game time the number dropped to 15.....Game 2 still reached 20 runs.....If a London series ever happens again....expect the over/under total to be 20 or above
I wonder what the ratio of native Brits to American expats there were in the stands. That's a pretty noisy crowd for a game I figure most Brits don't know the first thing about.
They can fool you ,many wear yankees caps (or dodgers caps)spout baseball cliches all day(3 strikes youre out I didnt mean to throw you a curve ball ,cover your bases and so )and baseball even comes up as a question on quiz shows, but ask you typical british sports fan to name even one baseball team and they no idea.My guess 10% were non american.
The all blacks rugby team played in soldier field and it was a sellout but ask your typical sports fan to name even one rugby team they would no idea what youre talking about.Its easy to fill up a stadium with these once off novelty events.
Coz Londoners know cricket as bat & ball sport where high scores are common. Plus those who are in the stadium are American expats . Merely any one of them are British.

@@alejandrodejesusrodriguezq4880 A good many of them could be from america and a good many expats.The reason why its possible is because 40 000 were due to fly over to dublin from america for the Notre dame v Navy game in ireland ,it will most probably not go ahead due to the virus,but in 2012 35000 flew over for the same game .So its not beyond the realms of possibility
Well Yankee stadium is even smaller to the sides than that so that solely can't be blamed The fast turf and pitchers struggling be it the humidity, travelling or stadium air flow was a problem though
Way too many runs in this London series bore-a-thon. They need to start growing the game of baseball in the inner cities of America rather than doing this time-wasting bullshit. Not to mention that it's also a waste of resources as well.
Center Field 385 feet away. 40,000 square feet of foul ground. Baseball making its mark overseas. Gotta love it.

I think the game will be forgotten in two weeks
This is epic. No other teams could’ve done what the Yanks and Sox did these two days.
Because nobody has such bad relievers?
cubs cards can do it next year
330 to the corners, 385 to center, 382 to the alleys. That was a Little League band box. What a joke.
maybe pirates and dbacks
I was there and this was an epic two days of baseball
Mostly hitting in truth but I'd like to thank MLB for bringing the game to London
Brilliant weekend
"Those are moonshot folks,a long home run"mlb the show 15 Matt Vasgersian
monster series... greeting from Russia
something was in those baseballs.......
We heard the Brits liked bangers & mash. So we sent them this :D
Wait until they see a Tuesday afternoon Mets Marlins game
this is what baseball needs
The crowds in England are great!
Lemahieu is a God
Desekrated no he is the best hitter on the Yankees this year
The British crowd must have seen the similarities to cricket with all those runs. A pitching dual would not have been well recieved I think.
Most Brits called this sport Softball or ‘Rounders’ which is very similar to baseball.
I have to say, this was the best possible outcome for this series. It could've been a pitching duel and possibly turned some people off, but it was a total slugfest that England won't forget any time soon.

i wish joe bucks can always be like this
yes
pls
yes

Doesn’t the sound of the ball off the bat just sound a little different?
That's because of the metric system.
@@beckobert You literally killed me.
Hubert Beck Correct. We measure sound in decibels, while they measure sound in piping hot tea per crumpet
Not a Cricket Bat
Hubert Beck I’m just now seeing this comment, haha.
By the way, did you upload it again after mlb modified it?
Because the first video only had 9 minutes of it. Not every run was shown.

sweep
what stadium was used?
dfcvda London stadium.
What’s up with all this crazy offense?
They're the top 2 offenses in the league. Not really a surprise
The umps had a wider strike zone.
small field with too much foul territory.
330 to the corners, 385 to center, 382 to the alleys. That was a Little League band box. What a joke.

50 runs in 2 games? This is not baseball.
You'd rather see 2 2-1 games? Pitchers duels are only fun in the postseason when they mean something. I love seeing a slugfest.
More like whiffle ball

Wider strike zone
@@TheMrPeteChannel What does the size of the strike zone have to do with hitting a baseball?
@@donniedarko587 More balls means more walks. More walks means more pitches. More pitches means more runs. I meant to say narrower strike zone.
@@TheMrPeteChannel Boston only had 1 walk in yesterday's game and scored 8 runs.
I'm sorry but seriously 12 runs in the first, this whole series was rigged and I'm not a red Sox or a Yankees fan.
Keith yep, they did something to those baseballs.
The field was about 30 feet shorter than the average ballpark.
Yankees only scored 7 of their 29 runs off of homers. The size of the stadium had nothing to do with those other 22 runs.
