Original center field distance of parks built between 1909 and 1913: Shibe Park: 509’ Forbes Field: 435’ League Park: 460’ Comiskey Park: 420’ Griffith Stadium: 421’ Tiger Stadium: 425’ Crosley Field: 420’ Ebbets Field: 508’ Fenway Park: 488’ ..And this was the dead ball era.
This a wild misnomer to fans who never had the privilege to attend a game at Tiger Stadium or Comiskey Park. Camden Yards deserves a lot of credit for bringing back the baseball only feel and charm plagued by mid-century multi-purpose “cookie-cutter” stadiums, however, the real…

Up until the 1974-1975 renovation, fans could exit Yankee Stadium via the field. #Yankees

@MLBcathedrals Polo Grounds dimensions were wild
@MLBcathedrals The reason why no one hits triples any longer.
@clesportsfan41 @MLBcathedrals So, you're an old man now, huh? LOL! I know you mean the currently renovated one. Very cool! I am jealous!
And I’ve also been lead to believe that owners preferred inside the park home runs especially with the Boston Braves
Original center field distance of parks built between 1909 and 1913: Shibe Park: 509’ Forbes Field: 435’ League Park: 460’ Comiskey Park: 420’ Griffith Stadium: 421’ Tiger Stadium: 425’ Crosley Field: 420’ Ebbets Field: 508’ Fenway Park: 488’ ..And this was the dead ball era.
@hrdcorhays @MLBcathedrals 483’ to the clubhouse.
Top 5 ballpark (that I’ve personall visited) for its esthetic
@MLBcathedrals I played at League Park
@mikeDfromCT @MLBcathedrals @BaseballGabb I’m with you here. Pitch clock has been great. Ghost runner makes it feel like 5th grade gym class.
@baseballgods16 @MLBcathedrals It made for more exciting game than watching #8 hitters nowadays try to hit a 365ft homer that would have been an easy fly out back then.
@doccomoli @MLBcathedrals @BaseballGabb That’s also what happened at Shibe Park in Philly and they called it the spite fence.
@MLBcathedrals Explains all the doubles and triples
@MLBcathedrals wish MLB teams had the guts to make a 500' center field today
@MLBcathedrals What was the polo grounds CF? Thought that was almost 600’ (I realize it may. It fit time period).
@MLBcathedrals The braves ballpark in boston too. Nobody hit a homer for the first 8 years it was open
Original center field distance of parks built between 1909 and 1913: Shibe Park: 509’ Forbes Field: 435’ League Park: 460’ Comiskey Park: 420’ Griffith Stadium: 421’ Tiger Stadium: 425’ Crosley Field: 420’ Ebbets Field: 508’ Fenway Park: 488’ ..And this was the dead ball era.
But also the charming answer, x.com/mlbcathedrals/…
@BaseballGabb Because the first ballparks were built within the confines of a city block. City blocks vary in size and somewhat in shape. The reason, Fenway Park’s left field wall is so short (310 feet), for example, is because there is/was a street directly behind the left field wall. The…
