Field size

[VeerCoach]

I thought when I was in high school playing on a field with with the fence size of 310 and 315 down the lines 330 in the gaps and 340 in center was short .... but after seeing some fields that are not even 300 in center the TSSAA has to mandate something. I think the TSSAA should step and and say atleast 300 down the lines and 330 in center. if your school has to play at city park and the fences are not regulation you must move your games or play all away games.

I agree...whose field is under 300? I can only think of one that is under 300 but a bunch that are 300.

Stewart Co. is the shortest field I have seen and it's 300ft. down the lines. Cheatham Co. is also 300ft. down the lines and it's 358 in deep center field.

I hear a high pop up is gone at Greenback. So the fence there ain't to far. Sorry dont know the deminsions.

Clinton High School's field is 290-something down the right field line.

[VeerCoach]

White House Heritage says 295 down the lines and 305 in center ... but there is no way that its deeper in center than down the lines

[greenwheel]

Yankee Stadium is 314 down the rightfield line and 318 down leftfield. /blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" />

haha. You'd figure with all that money, they make that stadium a little bigger. But Everybody likes to see Hr's sides the other team, and their parents.

Shouldnt matter, both teams have to play on it.

[straightbill307]

I know Lexington, Goodpasture, and Unicoi Co. are all porches.

I have umped at a college field that had a short right field 260 down the line. And the team only had 2 left handed batters.

it shouldn't matter the size of the field. both teams do have to play the game on the field. a team with short fences migh thave better power numbers but in the end the only thing that matters in the wins. away teams can go in and hit bombs too. it is equal for both teams on the fields. plus, the fields being different gives it more character. if fields were all the same it would be boring. i know when i played high school, i liked that the fields were different. it would get boring playing on fields with the same distances.
