Westside Park in Chicago was reported to have a 560 foot center field, but it is not confirmed.
Hill Top Park, Washington D.C. built in 1902, 542 feet to center field.
P.S. All those who think it is the Polo Grounds are wrong, Polo Grounds did however have the highest Centerfield fence at 56 feet tall. 19 feet taller than the Green Monster in Fenway.

According to Ballparks.com, the Polo Grounds has played center field at over 500 feet four times in its existence: 1930, 1940, 1944 and 1949-1951. It opened in 1911 and was demolished in 1964.

Hilltop Park had a very deep center field. It was 542 ft.
In all currently active baseball fields, I think Minute Maid Park, home of the Astros has the deepest center field (about 435 ft.)

Crampton Bowl, in Montgomery, Alabama, at 600"
It was the home of the ***** Southern League Montgomery Grey Sox in 1932, and thus was a major league park.

The Polo Grounds 483 '
look up "The Catch " there is a great shot of Willy Mays with his back to home plate hauling in a shot from Vic Wertz in the 1954 WS. You can clearly see the the 483' sign to the left of Mays

I'm taking an educated guess. The Polo Grounds. I believe it was 500+ feet.

I think that the Polo Grounds was near 500 feet. Today i think that Houston's Minute Maid Park is 424 feet to straight away.
