Remember the trees that graced center field at Target Field? Well, they will be a memory because they will be taken out for the 2011 MLB Season. Twins President Dave St. Peter said Friday that the trees are coming out as part of a plan to help hitters see pitches better. According to the Star Tribune, "As the inaugural season went on, players began to mention that the trees swaying in the breeze interfered with their ability to lock in on pitches." The glare effected both Twins players and visiting players. Apparently the Seattle Mariners had a problem similiar to the Twins and they plan on using the same backdrop that the Mariners use. They hope it will help out with the glare.
