re: Tom Shatel: Shorter dimensions could bring balance to TDA Park

There's really not much wrong with the dimensions. The biggest change is in the ball. Lowering seams on the ball can add as much as 25 feet to a flyball.

At 335 feet down both lines, 375 to the gaps and 408 to center, TD Ameritrade is slightly bigger than 21 major-league parks and about the same as six. NCAA and Omaha officials wanted to provide CWS players with a big-league park. They did it.
That's a neat gesture. The problem is, these aren't major-leaguers at the CWS.

Okay, but if 300 teams play in college parks all season using college balls wouldn't it make sense to move to minor balls if the CWS is gonna be in a minor park?
This would be like changing the court dimensions for the final 4. What's the fricking point?
