Actually, when you think about it, baseball is pretty silly for not having a standard playing dimension. In what other team sport are guys not playing on the same field?

Soccer.

Cricket. Aussie Rules Football.

Hockey, sometimes

That was the first sport to come to mind. You can go from fields that almost look like they're playing out on the open range to places like the Sydney Cricket Ground where it's like playing footy in a shoebox. Always thought it was weird to have extremes like that in one league, but it's been like that forever so....

You can also make the arguments that both the NHL and CFL play on non-standardized playing surfaces as well. In the CFL several stadiums have over the years have had various sizes of end zones as a result of their larger field being shoehorned into stadiums not designed for them so corners get cut off, etc... As for the NHL, I can think of one arena off hand, Boston Garden, where the ice was not "full sized" for decades until Fleet Center opened.

Not so much in the NHL anymore but take a look at some of the rinks in the CHL. Some rinks have almost 90 degree corners, plus especially in Quebec the benches are all over the place.

Arsenal's old ground, Highbury, had one of the smallest pitches in football.

I remember the first time I went to their new stadium at Ashburton Grove and the pitch looked absolutely enormous. Many supporters think the side's relatively poor form since the move is because they've never really adjusted their game to fit the size of the new pitch.
