It's hard to ignore the impact altitude has on the game of baseball at Coors Field in Denver

Rays reliever Pete Fairbanks says baseballs at Coors Field were 'horrible' after coming out of humidor. Fairbanks couldn't get a good grip on the baseball. He blamed the humidor for that, blaming it for not being able to grip the ball.

Coors Field sits at 5,280 feet above ground, allowing the ball to fly farther. The air is thinner in Denver than other ballparks around the country. The altitude in Denver means the ball can fly farther than in other major league stadiums. The Denver Rockies have the highest altitude in the country, with the altitude of 5,200 feet.
