The Cleveland Indians' Trevor Bauer had to bat on April 6, 2013 against the Tampa Bay Rats because their Designated Hitter was Carlos Santana and they had to move him to Catcher because of them needing to remove Lou Marson, their Starting Catcher from the game.

Does the Seattle superdome roof close?
The Kingdome (which no longer exists) had a fixed roof. It was replaced by two stadiums, one for the Seahawks and Sounders (this is CenturyLink Field) and the other for the Mariners (this is Safeco Field). CenturyLink has roofs over the grandstands but none over the field. Safeco Field has a retractable roof.
It is usually called the "batter's eye", because that is the general direction a player is looking in while batting. Most stadiums have no seats there, because the constant movement of spectators in that area could distract or confuse the batter while he is at the plate, possibly jeopardizing his safety (or at least his effectiveness).

Can you hit farther with a wood bat than you can with a BBCOR bat?
No. A BBCOR bat is made out of a "dead" metal substance. The composition of these bats makes them work more like wood bats, but not exactly like them. Any given metal bat will hit farther than wood bats. This is why you see people trying to break distance hitting records with metal bats as opposed to the wood.
