Oracle Park, home of the San Francisco Giants, has a 24-foot-high (7.3 m) right field wall in honor of Willie Mays; the height in feet matches his retired uniform number. The Kingdome in Seattle, Washington had a high right field wall that was dubbed "The Walla-Walla" after Walla Walla, Washington. Bush Field, home of the Class AA New Haven Ravens from 1994 to 2003, and now only used by Yale University's team, features a 35-foot-high (11 m) green metal wall in center field, which not only features a manual scoreboard, but also displays balls, strikes and outs with colored lights, just like Fenway's Green Monster. [11]

The Green Monster is famous for preventing home runs on many line drives that would clear the walls of other ballparks. A side effect of this is to increase the prevalence of doubles, since this is the most common result when the ball is hit off the wall (often referred to as a "wallball double"). Some left fielders, predominantly those with vast Fenway experience, have become adept at fielding caroms off the wall to throw runners out at second base or hold the batter to a single. Compared with other current major league parks, the wall's placement creates a comparatively shallow left field; the wall falls approximately 304–310 feet (93–94 m) from the plate along the left-field foul line. With this short distance, many deep fly balls that could be caught by the fielder in a deeper park rebound off the wall for base hits. And while the wall turns many would-be line-drive homers into doubles it also allows some high yet shallow fly balls to clear the field of play for a home run.

Fitzgerald Expressway, a part of Interstate 93 through downtown Boston, now underground as a result of the construction project known as the " Big Dig", was for many years an elevated expressway, held up with green girders, and was derided as "Boston's other Green Monster".

Long after the much-higher location manual scoreboard from c.1914 existed (as seen in the 1914 photo), the placement of the modern "ground-level" manual scoreboard occurred in 1934. It forms the lower half of the Green Monster and is still updated by hand from behind the wall throughout the game. The American League scores are also updated from behind the wall. The National League scores need to be updated from the front of the wall between innings. [5] There is also a board which shows the current American League East standings. There are 127 slots in the wall and a team of three score keepers move around two-pound (0.9 kg), 13-by-16-inch (33 by 41 cm) plates to represent the score. Yellow numbers are used to represent in-inning scores and white numbers are used to represent final inning tallies. The numbers of the current pitchers weigh three pounds (1.4 kg) and measure 16 by 16 inches (41 by 41 cm). [6] Ogren Park at Allegiance Field, home of the Missoula PaddleHeads of the Pioneer League, has a 27-foot-high (8.2 m) in right field, located 287 feet (87 m) from home plate as measured along the foul line. The park has a similar wall that is 309 feet (94 m) from home plate, but not as tall. In 1934, Red Sox owner Tom Yawkey arranged to flatten the ground in left field so that Duffy's Cliff no longer existed, and it became part of the lore of Fenway Park. You’ll likely want extra blueberries and strawberries if kids are helping, because they’ll likely munch on these ingredients as you build. You can use any nut or seed butter to attach the tongue and eyes, but SunButter keeps the flavor consistent with the sunflower seed teeth.

After standing still for a moment, the Monster uses its Antennae to whip you, inflicting Decay if they hit. Minute Maid Park, home of the Houston Astros, has a wall inspired by the Green Monster in left field, atop which is mounted a train reminiscent of the operating days of the adjacent Union Station. The wall is 25 feet (7.6 m) deeper and 1 foot (0.30 m) higher than the Green Monster, but in front of it is a section of stands called the Crawford Boxes, which are only 19 feet (5.8 m) high and are 5 feet (1.5 m) deeper. Fenway Park Facts: 52-100". CBS Boston. April 20, 2012 . Retrieved December 12, 2019. The Green Monster stands 37.167 feet tall and is only 310 feet from home plate. The Red Sox current spring training home, JetBlue Park at Fenway South in Fort Myers, Florida, features a replica of the Green Monster. JetBlue's Green Monster even has Fenway Park's 1934-vintage, manually operated scoreboard installed in it.

If stored in the fridge, apples will start to brown over time. Better to prep 4–6 hours in advance and they won’t lose any of their color. Spritz them with a lemon water mixture if you’re trying to prevent them from browning. The following is an excerpt from The Grain-Free, Sugar-Free, Dairy-Free Family Cookbook by Leah Webb. It has been adapted for the web. Place approximately 10 sunflower seeds into the top of each mouth, poking the pointed side of the seed into the apple flesh.
