In baseball, as in life, timing is everything. Before the 1949 season started the White Sox GM Frank Lane had a chicken-wire fence installed in front of the existing walls in Comiskey Park. The new wire fence shortened the field by 20 feet to 332 down the lines and 425 to center.

It didn’t take the Senators long to take advantage of the shorter fence by belting seven home runs and beating the White Sox 14-12 in 10 innings. At the time this was the only time seven home runs were hit by one team in an extra inning game.

The Senators will hit another 3 home runs on May 4th as they beat the White Sox 8-7. The next day after the Senators left the windy city Lane ordered the chicken wire fence torn down.

Explain why it is important for the neurotransmitter substance to be deactivated
Ivanshal [37]

Once in the synapse, it must be removed quickly or chemically inactivated to avoid constant attention of the post-synaptic cell and excessive firing of action potentials.

<h3>What is a neurotransmitter?</h3>
  • A neurotransmitter is a key molecule that a neuron secretes to affect another cell across a synapse.
  • The cell that receives the signal, which could be any major body part or target cell, could be another neuron or gland, or muscle cell.
  • Neurotransmitters are released from synaptic vesicles into the synaptic cleft and interact with neurotransmitter receptors on target cells.
  • After being recognized by a post-synaptic receptor, a neurotransmitter molecule is released into the synaptic cleft.
  • Once in the synapse, it must be removed quickly or chemically inactivated to avoid constant attention of the post-synaptic cell and excessive firing of action potentials.

Therefore, once in the synapse, it must be removed quickly or chemically inactivated to avoid constant attention of the post-synaptic cell and excessive firing of action potentials.
