Welcome back to Baseball 101, where we take you through the ins and outs of baseball, and help fans new and old gain a better understanding of the game. Over the last few weeks we delved into basic pitching and hitting stats, player positions, and how to be a fan of the game, but today we’re going to look at something that is unrelated to stats: the field itself.
What’s fascinating about baseball fields is that parts of them must be identical down to the inch, while other parts vary wildly in depth, height, and design. No two major league parks are the same, and over time they change and evolve.
