Was this really necessary?
In the 2022 MLB offseason, the Baltimore Orioles’ brass decided it would be a good idea to renovate classic Camden Yards, specifically its left-field wall.
The franchise moved the wall back a bunch and increased the height, making home runs from the left side of the plate harder to hit at a notoriously hitter-friendly park. Perhaps that would help a team that’s struggled year to year to find the pitching necessary to keep up with their much better AL East rivals?
