I liken it to two major differences between the NFL/College.
Imagine going to your bowl game and playing the field with the same width in hash marks, but the narrower NFL goal posts, or requiring two feet in bounds for receptions.
This comparison makes absolutely no sense. In baseball all of the constants are remaining the same. The plate is still 17 inches wide. The mound is 60 feet 6 inches away and the bases are 90 feet apart. The outfield dimensions aren't identical in any 2 parks.
You are talking about actual rule changes with the narrower goal posts and 2 feet in bounds rule. There are specific rules on how wide the goal posts are. There are no rules or guidelines on how deep the OF fence has to be. Your comparison is like saying the CWS decides to use a 14 inch home plate, instead of 17 inches.

We are talking about the conditions of the park likened to a Major-League setting, without MLB participants.
