    Obviously they need to be elevated if possible to allow for better viewing etc. And really it doesn't matter they are all playing on the same field. If however you are just trying to imagine how far ahead of you they really are then yes I think they set it up to get big numbers over 400+ to make it more sensational but what sport doesn't. Believe me they would blow by 99% of the people who believe they are big hitters because they do this everyday.

    $250,000 for hitting a little white ball really far. What the hell.
