Could someone create a version of this diagram that has readable captions? They're really not possible to read. It would be preferable to have the captions readable at the size at which the image is included in the main article (Baseball). Tempshill 20:35, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Could you modify this image a bit more? My idea is that the max distance to the outfield wall need not be specified; e.g. both Fenway Park and Comerica Park have a 420-foot wall; Polo Grounds had a 500-foot wall; and my alma mater high school had a center field wall in play more than 600 feet out. Perhaps just say, "at least 290 feet" or something of that nature.

Also, you could also draw a dotted grass line to show where the grass is inside the 1-2 and 2-3 baselines, a cutout around the bases, and a dirt path along the home-1st and 3rd-Home foul lines. I would do it, just don't have the right image editing programs (MS Paint, anyone?). If you do this, the "baselines" between 1-2 and 2-3 can be removed, as they don't exist anyway.

Also, you might have room in the bottom left and right corder to draw the backstop fence on your diagram and show the minimum distance there (60 feet).

Anything you choose to do (or not to do) with my requests is okay with me, thanks for all your contributions! --Locarno 15:09, 18 Oct 2004 (UTC)
