Tourists or non city-folk are not aware of this rule. They will stand three abreast if they can.

2. The home run derby is cool, but needs fixin'. Instead of basing it solely on how many home runs you are able to hit, it should be based on the sum total (estimated) distance of all of the home runs you hit in a round. If McGuire hits ten 500 foot blasts and Tino Martinez hits eleven 400 foot shots, McGuire should move on to the next round. That's what the derby is about. And the real sluggers should benefit from putting on a show.

I said this very same thing last night. Total distance. The friend I said it to reminded me that home-run distance calculating is an inexact science. And I replied that you could use:
(1) that strobe camera to estimate trajectory
(2) a speed gun and a protractor
