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

I get excited when I get to see a game at Fenway or Wrigley, or ATT Park (not so much at Oakland or Angel's stadium).  My kid gets excited when he gets to play on the minor league fields in Arizona, or at Lake Point.  Why is that?  Because they are different experiences.  A different vibe, a different look, different ways to approach the game - e.g., bunts roll true on a high quality field, or as a catcher being aware of the distance behind the plate, or as an outfielder recognizing he needs to adjust his angles to handle the faster outfield, etc.  This is part of what makes the game, and the whole experience of the game, great.  Why would we want to make them all the same?  Did you ever hear of anyone having a life goal of visiting every basketball arena in the NBA?
