it wasn't the size or dimensions, but there is an air stream that carries the ball which makes it easier to hit homeruns.

but different baseball fields have different dimensions, no? shouldnt there be a rule implemented against that to even shit out??

it goes back to when baseball first started out. In the late 1800's and early 1900's. Teams were giving these vast plots of land to build on, so they had to build stadiums that fit into whatever sized plot of land. Thats why you never saw a stadium with the same OF dimensions. So MLB decided to keep that tradition.

I dunno...I think that baseball is a sport scared to get with the times. Bud Selig loves tradition, to a fault.

thing is, the dimensions of new yankee stadium are EXACTLY the same as the old one. the old one didnt have this problem. it has to do with the wind stream..NOTHING to do with the dimensions.

Too bad Ruth didn't get to play in this one. That 60 maybe have been closer to 90.
