    Why Koshien Stadium plays differently

    Opened in 1924, Koshien is Japan's most storied ballpark and one of its most weather-exposed. The all-dirt infield plays very differently when wet, and the stadium sits between Osaka Bay and the Rokko mountains, where summer humidity is heavy and rainy-season fronts pass through regularly in June and July.
