Question
Did the demensions of the field at Yankee Stadium change at all between its opening through present day?
Amazing! You ding me for not spending more of my time on this. Do you realize how many times the dimensions changed? It would have taken a half-hour to provide "interesting" details for you. Has nothing whatever to do with "knowledge."
Nick,
Yes, many times. In general terms, the straight-away center outfield dimensions shrunk over the years, left and right field got deeper; both the alleys got more shallow.
