Old photos show straight away right before the renovations was 344 feet.

That's mighty short.

I think it's even shorter .

In the old Stadium right field foul line was 296 feet.

Was in attendance the night Darryl Strawberry hit 3 HR's against Big Hurt and the White Sox in 96 I believe it was. I almost got a foul ball by him in the same game, but had my hand stepped on by some older gentleman.

Yankee Stadium is an excellent place to see a ballgame, just knowing all of the history it has behind it. Fenway was nice as well, but I must say that Im a sucker for Camden Yards. The warehouse, combined with Babe Ruth's birthhouse and the Inner Harbor makes it a must visit.

agree, Camden is my favorite place to see a baseball game, besides Limeport Stadium in Limeport, PA of course! center field fence is 485 ft from home plate and the center field itself is sloped upward!

Love playing some of my high school and legion games there. Being a center fielder and a catcher I hated that slope when I was playing center field!! The cattle over the right field fence added to the ambiance of Limeport Stadium
