- My favorite ballpark that I've never seen.
- He has a Batmobile and a nuclear reactor, but uses a high school science lab microscope for detail work...BATWEATHER INSTRUMENTS

00:00 - I agree with you. This was the idea. We had an estimate, a location, but...you don't always get what you want.
I love PNC Park. It’s almost perfect. But you can’t convince me it wouldn’t be cooler with one of these. - That moment where the vomitory opens up to the field as you pass through is actually one of the greatest moments in spectator sports.
