After looking at the Google Maps images, the four biggest (Meadow Bridge, Moorefield, Tyler, and Tygarts) are all combination fields with a softball field and/or football field. Meadow Bridge and Tyler have moveable fences to act as the outfield fence, so it wouldn’t be nearly that far for a home run. It looks to be the same at the other two, but those fields were lined for football, so the fences were most likely put away for the season.

Look at all the cities whose NBA team peaked at the exact same time as Michael Jordan, with the majority not being able to compete post-Jordan:

• New York City (Knicks)

• Seattle (Sonics)

• Portland (Blazers)

• Phoenix (Suns)

• Salt Lake City (Jazz)

• Indianapolis (Pacers)

Reckon without Jordan, two or three of these cities would’ve had a basketball championship by now.
