Swinging for fences just got more difficult at Coors Field (Yahoo Sports)

Swinging for the fences just got a little more challenging at Coors Field, with the Colorado Rockies raising the outfield walls in two spots for the upcoming season. The fence from right-center field and extending into right will be raised by 8 feet in a park that's always been regarded as hitter friendly. In addition, a section of the fence near the left-field foul pole will be elevated 5 feet. (AP Photo/David Zalubowski, File)

Swinging for the fences just got a little more challenging at Coors Field, with the Colorado Rockies raising the outfield walls in two spots for the upcoming season. ''Every change we make to our process, our field of play or our team, is with the goal to be more competitive as a result,'' Rockies general manager Jeff Bridich said Tuesday.
