Seriously... EVERY ball park has different outfield dimensions. Heck, Fenway has the "Green Mwonstah" towering over left field. Short porches, deep centerfields, walls, etc. All parks are different.
How many more Home runs would Willie Mays have hit if the Polo Grounds centerfield wall was 420 feet away instead of 600?
How many Home Runs have been knocked down by 20 foot high walls?
So, since the game is NOT uniform in it's playing fields... why does the Home Run record matter so much?
It's not like Ty Cobb and Pete Rose... hits are hits. If the balls fall in the field of play in 1911 it is basically the same as bloop
hits in 2007. Right?
In football however, 10,000 yards passing is 10,000 yards passing.
