Reply to "Laying out a field"

I don't have a reference, but I believe that at one time 1st and 3rd base were also located with respect to the geometrical center of the base. This meant that half of those bases were in foul territory, which complicated making accurate foul/fair calls. So they moved 1st and 3rd to be entirely in fair territory, but left 2nd still located on center.

coachbyrd,
Are the original metal base anchoring posts still in place? If so, you could rent a metal detector, find the posts, and then work backwards to find the original home plate location.
