=== Major League Baseball === ==== Former ballparks ==== [[File:Griffith Stadium right field wall.jpg|thumb|right|The right-field wall at [[Griffith Stadium]] in the early 1920s]] * [[Griffith Stadium]] in Washington, D.C., the longtime home of the [[Washington Senators (1901β1960)|Washington Senators]], had its own version of the Green Monster in right field. * The [[Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome]], which was demolished in 2014, was the home ballpark of the [[Minnesota Twins]] and the [[Minnesota Golden Gophers baseball]] program. A {{convert|23|ft|m|adj=mid|-high}} advertising-covered [[Tarpaulin|tarp]] hung over the fold-away football seating in right field and was derisively referred to as the "[[Hefty]] Bag" or "Baggie" for its black [[bin bag|garbage bag]]-like appearance. As hitting the exposed folded seats above it was considered a home run and the tarp provided a [[trampoline]]-like bounce to assure a double, it was an attractive target for left-handed [[power hitter]]s. * The [[Kingdome]] in [[Seattle]], [[Washington (state)|Washington]], had a high right field wall that was dubbed "The Walla-Walla" after [[Walla Walla, Washington]]. * [[Hard Rock Stadium|Pro Player Stadium]], the former home of the [[Miami Marlins|Florida Marlins]], featured a smaller "Teal Monster" in left field from 1992, the team's debut season, until 2009, when the display was replaced by ad hoardings for the remaining 2010 and 2011 seasons before their move to [[Marlins Park]]. The board started out as manual but eventually was converted to a digital [[Text display#Eggcrate displays|eggcrate display]] with remote control.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://miamiherald.typepad.com/fish_bytes/2010/04/teal-monster-put-to-rest-at-sun-life-stadium.html|title=Teal Monster put to rest at Sun Life Stadium|last=Navarro|first=Manny|date=9 April 2010|work=[[Miami Herald]]|access-date=18 August 2017}}</ref> ==== Current ballparks ==== * [[Daikin Park]] (previously known as 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 {{convert|25|ft|m}} deeper and {{convert|1|ft|m}} higher than the Green Monster, but in front of it is a section of stands called the [[Crawford Boxes]], which are only {{convert|19|ft|m}} high and are {{convert|5|ft|m}} deeper. * [[Oracle Park]], home of the [[San Francisco Giants]], has a {{convert|24|ft|m|adj=mid|-high}} right field wall in honor of [[Willie Mays]]; the height in feet matches his retired uniform number. * [[PNC Park]], home of the [[Pittsburgh Pirates]], has a {{convert|21|ft|m|adj=mid|-high}} right field wall, paying homage to the Pirates' [[National Baseball Hall of Fame|Hall of Fame]] [[right fielder]] [[Roberto Clemente]], who wore uniform number 21. * [[Progressive Field]], home of the [[Cleveland Guardians]], has a {{convert|19|ft|m|adj=mid|-high}} left field wall, nicknamed the "little green monster".
