Major League Baseball has advised clubs to take further steps towards protecting fans from objects leading the field of play. Philadelphia appears to be on the forefront of those charges, making their second extension to their protective netting for the 2017 season.
In a statement released by the club, fans learned that Citizens Bank Park will have protective netting extend to the ends of each dugout.
Each section of net will be eight feet high, and the club does not foresee any issues relating to the quality of the game for fans in the lower sections.
