Reply to "Should there be a standard regarding baseball fields?"

A bigger deal than the dirt to me is the design of the fields themselves.  A football field or basketball court have standard demensions. 

 

In baseball beyond the layout of the infield it is a wild west show.  Fence distances, height, foul territory even the lighting.  Understand why places like Wrigley and Fenway might get grandfathered but since there are probably 25 stadiums built in the last 20 years - how about symmetrical outfield fences with the same height.

 

BTW even the infield layout varies from stadium to stadium.  Grass height varies, the foul lines are often differently laid out in the distance to the grass from the lines.  Even the cutouts around the bases are not uniform.
