WJMorris3 Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 It has come to my attention that perhaps the game could use some more exciting play. This is why if I were managing a ballclub, the dimensions would look like this.LL - 400LF - 430LC - 470CF - 500RC - 470RF - 430RL - 40025 foot walls, 15 foot plexiglas over 10 foot padded. Build the team around pitching, speed, and defense, and you might have a winner. Couldn't you see the crowds coming out to see a nice 1-0 game? Besides, the triple is the most exciting play in baseball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEAD! Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 they should return Yankee Stadium's left field back to it's former glory, when it was the one, true, mighty Death Vally.

Besides, the triple is the most exciting play in baseball. Who the hell would build THAT for his team? I don't think any team should go past 430 to dead center. I'd like to see RFK push their fences back to make 420 in dead center, but 500? Are you on crack?Besides, I like seeing Weaver-style baseball.

WJMorris3 Posted October 29, 2005 Author Share Posted October 29, 2005 I'm not on crack, I just like to see small ball. Give me a couple fast guys who can hit triples and inside-the-park homers anyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 That is a huge outfield. If you enjoy doubles and triples and billions of runs, I say, build it and they will come.Plus, the triple wouldn't be so exciting if it became a common thing. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 Would the MLB even allow this? I thought that all new parks built had to be within a certain set of dimensions set by the MLB offices. Id much rather see a park like thisLL - 100LF - 130LC - 170CF - 200RC - 170RF - 130RL - 10075 foot high walls On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

Rule 1.04a says ?The distance from home base to the nearest fence, stand or other obstruction on fair territory shall be 250 feet or more. A distance of 320 feet or more along the foul lines, and 400 feet or more to center field is preferable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infact I wouldn't mind seeing what willmorris proposed, all I would like to see is a game played with extremely different restrictions. Either really close, where we'd get t see tones of HR's or really far, where we'd see triples and doubles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMU Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Here's what I'd do:LL-320LF-350LC-375CF-425RC-365RF-350RL-34020 foot wall in left, 5 foot wall in right, Houston-style hill in center, ivy covered walls for added difficulty factor, a few sharp angles in the wall for weird bounces.
