Astros to get rid of Tal's Hill, flagpole after 2015 season

The Earth will indeed be flat in the Houston Astros outfield as the team
announced that it will be getting rid of signature Tal's Hill after the 2015
season.

The Astros will remove the incline and its flagpole, which have been staples 
of Minute Maid Park since the stadium opened in 2000. Both the hill and the
flagpole are situated in play and have been known to give outfielders fits as
well as highlight-reel catches.

The project is part of a $15 million renovation that would move the 
center-field fence about 27 feet closer to home plate -- to a new distance of
409 feet -- and would be completed prior to the 2016 season.

The fence currently is 436 feet from home plate, the deepest in the majors.
It would be the sixth deepest when the renovations are complete.

"The new center field will not only be great for fans, but will make Minute
Maid Park an attractive ballpark for current and future players as well,"
general manager Jeff Luhnow said.

Tal's Hill, a tribute to Cincinnati's Crosley Field and other old ballparks,
is named after former longtime team executive Tal Smith. Removing it and
bringing in the fences in center field allows the Astros to add three new
bars, four food locations and the first field-level seating area at Minute
Maid Park.

"We are extremely excited about our plans for center field, and are confident
that our fans will be as well," Astros president of business operations Reid
Ryan said in a statement. "Our goal will be to create a unique and
entertaining atmosphere for our fans that will include great happy-hour spots
and spectacular views. It will also be visual, giving the ballpark an
exciting, new look."

太空人預計在2015球季後移除外野那個著名的小土丘-Tal Hill

並且把中外野從原本的436英呎縮短成409英呎

這個30度的土丘是不少客隊外野手的噩夢

但也曾成就不少美技 例如:
