Sacred Heart - Ville Platte is 315 down the lines, but like 310 in left center, 340 in center. There is a canal running along the back of it. Well kept up place though.

Troy Ainsworth hit that ball at St. Paul's. I had a nice view from the dugout as a freshman. Too bad I watched you guys choke that game away! We would have gone all the way!
haha, yep. And frick you man. Just messing around.
Believe me I had 3 years of being on those team that choked away state titles. Still amazes me to this day we didn't win at least one title those years. quote:

Woodlawn BR was unique. Left was probably about 275, but it had about a 15-20 foot fence. I would crush a line drive off of the fence for a single, then watch someone else hit a pop-up HR.
There was also a shallow ditch running parallel to the RF line where a fence would normally be. I played first and was tracking a foul pop-up only to go tumbling into the ditch.

Oh where to even begin
FCA- just have to see it
Broadmoar- strange layout
Mckinley- for reasons already posted
Tara- constant horrible state of the field
Oak hill- paml trees in foul territory
Maurepas- Used to not have an outfield fence- balls that carried past "the tree" were Hrs

Lee High was another jewel. The infield dirt was about 6-8 inches higher than RF, so bloopers were always a doozie.
They also aerated the soil. Because the soil was clay, the aerating left these plugs of hard dirt about 3/4 in diameter and 3 inches long. At times it was like stepping on marbles on the OF. Oh, and whatever that thorny grass out there, mixed with the clay plugs, made laying our for a ball painful.

They had a dude that played with Theriot that could hit a ball out anywhere in that park. I think he was the 1B.

Their coach was a clown. Said your hips should not move through your swinging motion. The field was shitty AF, but he would have us sweeping the dugouts until there was no dust in it. Desegregation saved me.

when I played there during the summer leagues, we would have the neighbors come through the fence and sit in the outfield.

So I played 1A ball in the early 90's up in NELA, and other than OCS, we played in some real dumps.
And between the schools and rec ball we played all over N. La.

Athletic Park. Ponchatoula High. Unique because the Cubs and Orioles played an exibition game there before. Concrete stadium that seats about 1500.
Weirdest place i played was Slidell High. RF fence was the school building. One time we were playing and students opened the windows and started heckling us.

I went to school at Pleasant Hill and our baseball field was just a patch of grass somebody threw a fence around. Stupidly huge dimensions out there. It was at least 400 feet at any given point on the wall. In my 3 years of playing I don't think there was ever an outside-the-park home run, but there were plenty inside-the-park because our teams were awful
Also played a playoff game in Elizabeth (I think) where the left field wall was maaaybe 200, center was about 300, and right field was like 400. It was like a parallelogram or some crap.
