Built in 1914, the "Friendly Confines" was host to Babe Ruth's alleged "called shot" during the 1932 World Series. Lights were added to the ballpark in 1988.
To keep the solar glare out of batters' eyes in the late afternoon hours, home plate was placed in the southwest area of the plot of land, with the third base line pointing northward.
Located beyond right field, the B&O Warehouse is 439 feet from home plate. Built between 1898-1905, the warehouse is the longest building on the East Coast at 1,016 feet (but only 51 feet wide).
