Another great one. Never called a game here though. Literally on top of the entrance to the Lincoln tunnel

 

Yes, I have done a game here. And there are some interesting things to note.

- Yes, it's very possible for foul balls to sail down and hit a car entering or exiting the Lincoln Tunnel to Manhattan. 

- To leave the field you have to walk up a steep flight of stairs to get to the street behind the 3B side. It's maybe 40 feet high. And then you have to keep walking uphill to get to the police department. Maybe 6 stories uphill to the parking lot that's beyond left field.

Stumbled across this unique park on the interwebs . . .

Not sure if this is responsive, but I have done three LL Regional tournaments in Kutno Poland.  A really great experience!

On the "B" field, the all-wood scoreboard had the innings annotated in Roman Numerals!  So, just how long have they been playing baseball there?  🙂

I umpired 7 or 8 times in Roswell, NM for an independent minor league.  Do you know how they put Diamond Dust on the infield every game?  Well, in Roswell, they haven't leveled off the field in 100 years.  So when I'm in "A" position, if I have to cut infield into the working area, I have to run uphill by about 18 inches.  The infield is literally 18 inches taller than the outfield.

The “how” pales in interest as to the “why”. 

If there are aliens 👽 involved… imma gonna lose it.
