However, some clubs have been permitted to construct parks after that date with dimensions shorter than those specified.
The rulebook states that parks constructed by professional teams after June 1, 1958, must have a minimum distance of 325 feet between home plate and the nearest fence, stand or other obstruction on the right- and left-field foul lines, and 400 feet between home plate and the nearest fence, stand or other obstruction in center field. The field must be constructed so that the bases are the same level as home plate.
The infield must be a square that is 90 feet on each side, and the outfield is the area between the two foul lines formed by extending two sides of said square (though the dirt portion of the field that runs well past the 90-foot basepaths in all Major League parks is also commonly referred to as the infield).
No Major League ballparks are exactly alike, but certain aspects of the field of play must be uniform across baseball.
