Get your stop watches ready. How did 2:25 become the standard?
Walking 3 miles an hour (which is slow), I can walk 264' in a minute. I don't think there's a park with a "warning track to rubber" distance of 638'. Granted, they have to throw the first pitch, but that shouldn't take too much time, considering they just warmed up.
