Example of Ballpark Effect
The current game is at Ralph's Home Field, Ridback Meadows. Mike plays Barry Sosa who threatens Home Run, Home Run. When these Threatened Hits are placed, a check is made against the FA Deck to determine whether the ballpark effect happens.
Ralph draws a Natural, which matches the Barry Sosa player Type. Both Home Runs are reduced to Doubles! If Ralph had drawn a Robot or a Cyborg, then the Threatened Home Runs would both stand.
Note that this effect applies to both players when placing Threatened Hits.
