@MLBcathedrals What was the polo grounds CF? Thought that was almost 600’ (I realize it may. It fit time period).
@hrdcorhays @MLBcathedrals 483’ to the clubhouse.
@hrdcorhays @MLBcathedrals wikipedia cites the baseball encyclopedia and says it was 500ish during the time period mentioned but also that an official distance was never posted
