Were you the one who suggested having no outfield wall but just a contnuous field? That would be the best case but MLB would never approve such a ballpark. It would be interesting to see how deep the outfielders would play...

Our High School field was 365 down the line and 485 to center. Lots of triples and inside the parkers there.

would you consider it to have generated more or less offense, or could you tell? I believe that was my question before. I wondered if not having walls might actually increase offense

Why in the hell did they make is so huge. Was there a single ball hit over the fence???

My guess is budget and trying to fit a baseball field in an already existing area with fencing.

I played at some weird ass places in my day in rural areas.

How about putting shrubs and small trees in the outfield just to make things a little more random and interesting?

I have always advocated for a moat filled with alligators for the warning track.

It was just the space that was there. The field is still in the same spot but they have since added a second closer fence. I think I saw two hit out in my 4 years there. Both right down the line. It was the only field we had so we used the area in deep center for the C-team to practice infield.

Well i don't know if the players union would go for that, but perhaps a babbling brook with little fishies would be okay.
