Distances Deceptive in Milwaukee Park For All Star Game
Sports writer notes Milwaukee County Stadium provides a tough environment for home runs due to Lake Michigan breeze and shorter fences, contrasting Cleveland’s Municipal Stadium. Cites 135 homers at Cleveland and 139 at Fenway for context, but Milwaukee tallies show 43 by Braves at home and overall counts suggest a lower homer rate today. Forecast: American League wins 5-2.
