I watch Baseball and one thing that bothers me is that there are no size regulations in Baseball. Fields are never the same size. You have that giant hill in center field at Minutemaid Park, you have Ivy in Wrigley, tiny corners, jagged walls, the green monster, huge walls you can't jump over, shorter walls, you have huge foul ball area's, then you have almost no foul area, field dimentions are wacky, Petco park is huge, the Phillies park has a tiny Right field (A big reason why Thome has tons of HR's). And you have astroterf, long grass, short grass, then you have Coors field were players go to raise there HR totals. This is rediculous and I don't know why baseball doesn't have rules because this a joke. People make a fuss over steriods while they don't care to see there stadiums shrink, all fields should be the same, football (besides turf issues) has regulations, the NBA has them. Why not MLB?

You make some great points, but I like the fact that every baseball stadium is unique.

Football has field regulations and there stadiums are each very unique. You can have the same field dimentions while still having things that differ, like the Giants Coke slide and giant Glove and the Brewers slide. I never cared for the look of the Green Monster or don't see why they can be fair about because I think it's hypocritical of fans and people in the game to denounce steriods while they turns there ballparks into mine fields.

No way there should be a regulation all parks are ment to different You would go on the road and it would be like playing at home all the time.

Baseball, you actually get home field advantage. With the exception of the fans.
