The Houston Astros plan to get rid of Tal's Hill at Minute Maid Park after the season.

The club will remove the incline and its flagpole, which have been staples of the ballpark since the stadium opened in 2000. The hill and the flagpole are situated in play and have been known to give outfielders fits as well as highlight-reel catches.

The project is part of a $15 million renovation that would move the center-field fence about 27 feet closer to home plate -- to a new distance of 409 feet -- and would be completed prior to the 2016 season.
