I wonder if Ghost/Matt could speculate for us if the idea of sails as both a decorative touch and a way to break up air flow would have an effect (actually the Mariners should just hire him to form a consulting team to study the marine layer's effects and ways to predict/mitigate them). It would seem the sail idea might satisfy those who want the "experience" and those who want fly balls to left and left center to float less. It seems easier and more aesthetic than changing the walls (though, again, 10-12 feet between the bullpen and dead center might be useful, too, without killing the pitchers). Having served on both cruisers and carriers, I am aware of how breaking up the wind flow can have both useful, and unpredictable, effects. This is an area where the cost of a low draft choice (or a fraction of Figgin's salary) for a scientific study could really provide useful competitive info.
