Wind is a huge FACTOR

how many mph does it take to effect a balls flight or direction? I know this will vary....

different from stadium to stadium, but disregard anything under 10 or 12 mph.

The Mendoza line is 15 MPH.

depends upon direction, ballpark, type of pitchers, and the hitters on the squads

What is the Mendoza line?

In my opinion the main fact is wind direction and speed

i really take notice with "gusting winds 15>mph"

remember - the line is always adjusted for, so try and get this info early to get the best total possible.

i remember once i was at wrigley - we went behind home plate and tossed a napkin in the air - the napkin flew towards CF in a split second. my friends and i were fumbling our cell phones out of our pockets so fast to pound the over. game was like 5-5 in the 2nd inn and flew over by the 4th.

really depends on the stadium, i know some can supress it pretty well, dont know which ones exactly though
