Question from Audrey:
Why do major league ballparks all have different dimensions (outfield fence, foul territory, etc.)? It seems to me like there should be uniform dimensions in every ballpark, so that if a ball is a home run in one ballpark, it would be a home run in every ballpark. This drives me crazy!!
Post-answer song:
Frank Sinatra — “There Used To Be a Ballpark”
