Watching BT sports coverage of the MLB and it got me wondering.
Wembley are to host two regular season games next year.

1) how will they fir the filed into Wmbley ( Fenways filed two shortest side are over 300 ft and

2) how will they designate home runs?

Any thoughts

It's not at Wembley, it's going to be at the London (Olympic) Stadium in Stratford.

The stadium can be set up for all sorts of sports apparently but I assume they will do what they did at the Sydney Cricket Ground a few years ago.

But in answer to your original question, I've loved baseball for years now. A long suffering Mets fan which has apart from a WS run in 2015 has been pretty grim! I've been over to watch a number of games which have been great.

What's your team?

Heads up, tickets on sale beginning of December, hope they don't make them too pricey.

From £30 to £320
Hopefully there will be a big drop in price from the £320 price band down to the next one otherwise its looking expensive for good seats.

Presale went live at 10am today. Got my 2 tix for me and son for 29th June. Go Yankees

That presale went badly. Unlike to Ticketmaster to mess things up
Tickets to both games, not necessarily great ones but at a price I'm happy with.

No way i'm paying those prices for a decent view, will have to give it a miss.

It will be interesting to see how this pans out though, if scalpers have bought all the tickets anticipating a demand that may not be there.

Currently sat waiting through the stshow which is ticketmaster for tickets for 2020 games.

It seems to be a queueing simulator which occasionally offers me st tickets for huge prices.

I refuse to pay inflated prices on the secondary market, and my enthusiasm is waning. I can almost justify the man maths option of a short break in the US to watch a game...

Edited to add :
2xtickets for Sat
2x tickets for Sun

Eye watering prices, but not from secondary market! Winner, winner, chicken dinner!

Managed to get my two Saturday tickets fairly quickly to be fair.

My team is the Fukuoka Hawks (Japanese league) will be interesting to see how big a difference in skill level there is as I go to quite a few games a year.
