Right field at Citi Field is a little different. It's got something that gives the stadium "character."
In RF, the Pepsi Porch overhangs a bump out in the outfield wall. The stands are in play, so a ball hit just right can land in the stands at a point where Ryan Church or the opposing team's right fielder would have been able to catch the ball.
It should be very interesting to see it when it happens. I kind of like this idea. Just a little quirk in the park that makes it all the more interesting.
Here's a shot of the bump out in the wall, complete with tables and chairs behind the fence for no apparent reason.
And a nice shot of the overhang, from the side. See how the stands reach out over the wall?
Also, check out the crazy outline this outfield wall creates from this graphic...
Hopefully the Mets realize that RF will play a little crazy and when they need to find a new player to fill that position, they'll consider his play in the field a little more than they usually would.
