GROUND RULES
In Baseball, the rules which regulate the infield space are highly specific yet the outfield relies only on minimum dimensions. Inspired by Yankee Stadium’s short porch, Fenway’s ‘Green Monster’ and the Astros’ Tal’s Hill, this series of redesigned fields explores similarly unique but viable architectures for the sport. In 2019 Major League Baseball implemented a new set of rules aimed at (among other things) making the game more engaging to counter shorter attention spans. These fields are intended to highlight architecture, rather than rule, as an opportunity to change the game.
