http://m.mlb.com/glossary/rules/field-dimensionsDo what you want with the fence size. Hell, make a dumbass hill so ppl can get hurt if you want.
The specification on minimum park dimensions was put into place due to the stadium controversy surrounding the Brooklyn Dodgers' move to Los Angeles in 1958. The Dodgers played at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum while Dodger Stadium was being built, but the Coliseum was not designed to hold baseball games. The Coliseum's left-field fence was roughly 250 feet away from home plate and the club had to erect a 40-foot-high screen to protect against short home runs. The specification is not strictly enforced, however, so long as teams do not build parks that egregiously violate the rule. For example, Petco Park opened in 2004 and is officially 396 feet in center field, and Oriole Park at Camden Yards opened in 1992 and is 318 feet down the right-field line.
Some Wichita St player made a catch like that probably 10-12 years ago
Amazing that baseball is the stat-geek sport when the same routine hit could be a single, double, hr, or caught ball solely depending on the park

The Joey Bats flip in the 2015 ALDS may be my favorite moment in baseball history even though I hate them? That series was incredible.
