Hi,
I am looking for the groundrules for the new Park of the Houston Astros. Can anybody help me?

We have a stadium here in Germany where there is a pole in the outfield as well. So we try to get a ruling for that.

Thanx

Just curious. What is the pole for? Surely it serves
some purpose/function. Trying to visualize this, all I
can see is this tall pole just standing in the outfield
with a sign saying "Hit this pole and win a new car of
your choice." Just funning. :D
