I'm sure the outfielders play back there. [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coors_Field"]Coors Field - Wikipedia[/URL] On the other hand, I remember when they played the All-Star game there. With the top sluggers in baseball there, everyone assumed it would be a home run derby. instead it was a singles derby: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.baseball-reference.com/allstar/1998-allstar-game.shtml[/URL] Of the 31 hits in the game, 3 were home runs, 1 was a double, 1 was a triple and 26 were singles, likely because of exactly what you said.
