Plus: Amazing Elly cycles in his 15TH GAME!
Most Saturdays, London Stadium plays host to the English Premier League's West Ham United. The pitch is laid out in a rectangle, roughly 140 yards long and 100 yards wide.
Today, though, it will play host to the Cubs and Cardinals, whose playing requirements are a little different. To pull off the task of turning a pitch into a park, MLB turned to Murray Cook, its field consultant.
