Dimensions of baseball field question

200 feet to fence to home plate. 60 feet between bases and 46 feet from pitcher mound to plate.

I moved this to the proper forum as it is not a 3-rail traditional discussion.

Thank you.

If it is "sandlot" the dimensions are whatever the kids can find!    We played in the alley behind our houses.    it was a long narrow field!       If it is little league, then yes the dimensions matter - - if they fit, otherwise selective compression applies.

I played in my back yard, first was a big oak tree, second was the swing set, third was a maple tree, and home was an outdoor fireplace.  From home to first must have been 90 feet at least, same to second, but second to third and third to home was about 30 feet.

Absolutely accurate, but there will probably need to be some selective compression.  Mound to home is a boxcar, home to center field fence is 5 box cars.  It's amazing how something that seems small in real life takes up a lot of scale real estate.

You could do something like putting a couple two story buildings up with an empty lot between them and a fence in the back. That does what Jim said about selective compression.

We played in a sandlot near my grandmothers house that was owned by some industrial business.  Truly had sand and patches of grass. We used whatever we could find for bases...small piece of plywood, 2x4, frisbee,  tire, whatever we found on the lot that day.  Was some of the best games ever.  We would just walk off the bases and drop them where we thought they should go.  I think it would look awesome if you did a haphazard field like that...a small piece of wood or tire for bases.   A true sandlot.
