I think if the bats are gonna stay the same it would be a great idea. 10-15 ft would work.

Let's go 285 down the lines, 315 in the power alleys and 365 straight center.

I'm thinking some hills in the outfield to add a little entertainment

I'd rather move the mound back so we can bunt more

people will laugh but i agree with you. i think 15 ft is too much though. also, dropping the mound a coupla inches would promote more hitting also.

Let's have a constantly moving fence set on a random pattern.

Has anyone talked about moving the intimadator in front of 1st base yet. You know, just to make the game interesting.

no don't change a thing plus you lose a few hundred seats if you move the fence up.

I say instead of the "warning track", we dig a "warning moat" and fill it with piranha, just to make the game more fun.

I was actually thinking the same thing this weekend watching several Katz' wall bangers. I'm not saying I'm for moving the fences in because I am a fan of small ball. In the end, I don't think it would make a huge difference one way or the other. Homerun totals would go up some, but outfielders wouldn't have as much territory to cover. If we ever have an outfield of JMitch, Landry, and Mahtook again, no ball would ever find a gap. (relax, that was sarcasm)

I am curious if any school has even considered moving the fences as an option.
