Pirates raise left field fence height at Forbes Field
Pittsburgh front office raises fence in left at Forbes Field to 16 feet, aiming to limit Ralph Kiner’s homer production while aiding pitchers. Manager Billy Meyer, a defensive strategist, supports the move, betting it helps hurlers more than harms righty power. Meanwhile Giants manager Mel Ott navigates an unsettled mound staff as opening day nears.
