Can you imagine an NFL team stating- 'Eh, we're going to make our dimensions and playing field 50 yards total'. Can you imagine if an NHL team stated- 'Eh, on our team - we have 20 feet behind the goalie net of open ice......
Can you imagine if an NBA team stated, 'Eh, for our home court - the 3 pt line is only 15 feet away from the basket'
WTF?
Basic dimensions are the same. 90 feet between bases 60 and 6 inches from pitching rubber (heh heh, I said rubber) to home. Outfield dimensions didn’t matter until the 20’s because hardly anyone could hit one out.
Why can some teams play inside and some have to play outside?
doesn't this make the ball go 'faster' when hitting the ground?
