In Major League Baseball, the field dimensions are:
90' between the bases
60' 6" from pitching rubber to home plate
127' 3 3/8" from 1st to third or 2nd to home
Pitchers mound - 18' diameter
Outfield fences and seats vary from park to park

Normal Dimensions

90 feet base to base

60 feet 6 inches, pitchers mound to home plate

Outfield fence, no shorter than 300 feet from home plate
No cap on Maximum distance.

Seats should be positioned so as not to allow spectator interference on what would normally be considered a "live ball".
In general, seats should be at least 30 feet behind home plate.
30-45 feet from baseline to stands up to and immediately beyond first and third base.
5 feet is all that is required beyond the bases, that is, left field and right field to the sides.
Beyond the 300 foot mark, seats should be positioned so as not to interfere with any player who has a legitimate shot at making a play. By allowing a "buffer zone" of 5-10 feet behind the fence, fans are eliminated from causing "fan interference" by reaching over the fence to catch what would otherwise be a fly out.

These are covered in the MLB rulebook, pertaining to field conditions. For High School, the dimensions are the same, with exceptions for the "stands" rules.

It depends on what field you are talking about. The Phillies' stadium center field only reaches out to 320 feet and the rest coming shorter. Yankee Stadium's center field reaches out 399 feet, with the rest coming shorter. The seats also depend on the field.

It really depend on which baseball field your playing in....for instance some baseball fields are considered pitching fields which plays into the pichers advantage(the field is bigger then other field which makes it harder to hit homes runs) and vise versa.
