In leftfield, Durham Bulls Athletic Park (DBAP) pays homage to Boston's Fenway Park,
complete with manual scoreboard at the bottom of the great wall. DBAP wanted
to set itself apart however from the Red Sox, so instead of having a "Green Monster",
Durham is home of the "Blue Monster". The gigantic blue wall is topped
with a snorting bull just like the old ballpark was, but is not the original.
The original bull (as seen in the movie Bull Durham) is located within the concourse
of the stadium. Just like its predecessor however... if you hit the bull
on a screaming home run to left... you win a steak. Nobody has won a steak. |
