Olney: London Stadium's quirks make series an adventure

LONDON -- Every field presents unique challenges, from Fenway Park's triangle to the Crawford Boxes cutout in left-center field in Houston, from the unpredictable bounces created by the brick in San Francisco to the cozy 364-foot power alley in Camden Yards. London Stadium is no different, and on Sunday, in the second game played between the Red Sox and Yankees, the center fielders will be under pressure because of the field layout.

Most parks are aligned so that the setting sun doesn't shine directly into the eyes of the outfielders, with exceptions. Right field can be tough sun field at the end of the day in Fenway Park, and on some days, left field is a challenge in San Francisco.
