HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) - Hartford's minor league baseball team is still dealing with problems at its new home.

Almost a month into the season, Eastern League President Joe McEacharn says he won't set an opening day until he knows the team's delayed and over-budget $65 million stadium is ready for play.

Recently, the league determined that the 317-foot distance from home plate to the right-field fence is too short.

Officials decided to solve that problem by putting a net above the fence, increasing the height needed to hit a home run from 12 feet to 25 feet.

Adding to the indignity, police are investigating an incident in which someone jumped from a car to push over a man dressed as Chompers, a Yard Goats mascot.

The team is an affiliate of the Colorado Rockies.
