How the hell does this game allow little league fields

[ArmedBike4982_XBL]

I just recently finished a game, and my opponents home fields was 300 feet down the line and he hit about 3 homers that wouldn’t be gone on any other field in the game. So why the hell does this game allow fields to be this short?

Little league fields specify that a fence should not be over 300, and that's to center not to the lines, so you couldn't have been playing on a little league field.

This doesn't seem right or I'm misunderstanding. Yankee Stadium is 310 down the left field line, and 314 right field. Fenway is 310 down left and 302 down right.

You mean like Fenway? It's only 302 down the right field line

Created stadiums

Its 285 or 295 to Pesky's pole. those old stadiums were built in neighborhoods and had exceptions because of the limited lot sizes when building. some of them were built before the minimum distances rule, and the minimum distances put in place because of it.
