I also have that book as well. The most fascinating pictures are those taken during the inaugural season, 2004. Compare them to some of the most recent pictures you can find of the ballpark's surrounding areas and you'll be amazed.

Frazee will donate $500,000 to the Padres Foundation if any player hits a home run off the can. I say the odds of that are probably 1,000,000 to 1, so does Frazee. So to be safe (and charitable), they donated $20,000 to the Padres Foundation in the event no one hits a homer off the paint can.
And have they always had those bleachers on top of the WMSB?

950lb TaylorMade golf club affixed to foul pole at Petco.
TaylorMade has affixed a mammoth, 88-foot-tall replica of its R11 driver to the right-field foul pole at Petco Park in San Diego.
It's a bit of an optical illusion, as there's not actually a club head on this monstrosity. But the driver itself is indeed in fair territory, which could lead to some interesting pinballing if a ballplayer happens to slice (ha!) a fly ball down the right-field line.

^Interesting. Perhaps, stupid? I hope Taylor Made's paying the team a good amount of money for that (we could use to spend payroll for players who can hit above .150). Regardless, I'm headed to tonight's game. It'll be interesting to see what it looks like in person.

The black shaft doesn't really register in the photos I've seen.

Went to the game last night (only stayed through 5....my tolerance for shoddy defense from Chris DeNorfia and poor hitting from everyone else is rather low), the club looks, well, weird. It's this giant black stick that seems to be more of an obstruction to the people sitting behind it rather than a clever piece of marketing.

The best thing about this behind-the-plate photo of Barry Bonds hitting his "755th" home run at Petco Park is the sign on the building just beyond the left field wall... "MOVE INTO LEFT FIELD."
Awesome.Please help. I was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer last summer, and now I'm in a position where I need financial assistance. For the full story, please check out my GoFundMe campaign at https://gofund.me/3874ea2d. Thank you.
