baseball field Outfield
The original rules of baseball did not specify the minimum size of the outfield. Consequently, there are outfields of very differing sizes. Most professional ball parks in the USA were built to the confines that the city offered them. For example here are some field sizes:
- Boston's Fenway: 310 feet in Left - 420 feet in Center - 302 feet in Right
- Detroit's Comerica Park: 345 feet in Left - 420 feet in Center - 330 feet in Right
- Chicago's Wrigley Field: 355 feet in Left - 400 feet in Center - 353 feet in Right
- Houston's Minute Maid Park: 315 feet in Left - 435 feet in Center - 326 feet in Right
