Very cool. I have an interesting story regarding Dodger stadium. As you know, every pitcher mound in the major leagues has to be a certain height. Reason being the higher the mound the more advantage the pitcher has, therefore before every game the mound is measured to make sure it meets the required height measurements, etc. For a couple years in the 90's, the Dodgers lowered home plate because it was never measured, therefore having the same effect, and than they built there lineup around it. They eventually got caught. This story came from an ex Dodger pitcher that used to be a consultant of mine.
