42.43 ft.  60 squared plus 60 squared equals 7200.  take the square root of that and divide it by 2 to get the distance from the center of the diamond to home plate.  its simply the pythagorean theorem.  haha.

Their really isn't one correct answer to this question, I'll try to explain. I’ll start with the home run that Mickey Mantle hit at Griffith Stadium in Washington on April 17, 1953. The entire baseball world was led to believe the ball had traveled 565 feet from home plate to the point where it landed.\nIn truth, that figure derived from the distance from home plate to the place where a neighborhood child retrieved the ball. However, the actual distance in the air was probably about 510 feet (most sources still have this as #1). The same process happened again with Mantle on September 10, 1960 at Briggs Stadium in Detroit when a ball he hit was reported to have traveled 643 feet but it is readily apparent once again that the ball had bounced several times before it reached the estimated distance (this is the home run that the "Guinness Book of Records" has as #1). When your talking about tape measure home runs you can’t leave out Babe Ruth. It was said that Ruth once hit one 587 feet in an exhibition game against the Giants back in 1919. Also his tremendous blow to right-center field in Detroit on June 8, 1926, has often been reported as traveling 628 feet, but again was it measured where it first landed or where it came to a rest. Included among the other great exaggerations in the history of tape measure home runs are Dave Nicholson’s Comiskey Park rooftopper on May 6, 1964 who’s shot was calculated at 573 feet. The calculations were on the assumption that the ball traveled completely over the left-center-field roof. However, subsequent\ninvestigation indicated that the ball landed on the back of the roof before bouncing out into the night. Also, when Dave Kingman launched his wind-aided blow in Chicago’s Wrigley Field on April 14, 1976, "The New York Times" somehow concluded that it had flown 630 feet. It has been confirmed that the ball struck against the third house beyond Waveland Avenue, which is situated about 530 feet from home plate. Yet another claim (by the "Guinness Book of Records"), has a minor league player by the name of Roy Edward "Dizzy" Carlyle having hit one 618 feet at Emeryville Ball Park, CA on July 4, 1929. Mark McGwire hit several home runs over 500 feet and one over 540 and his is measured accurately every time he hits one. I know I didn’t cover everything but I hope I covered enough to satisfy you.\n\nAlso, Mantle's home run off the facade at Yankee Stadium on May 22, 1963 traveled between 370 to 374 feet and was between 115 to 117 feet high. If it was still going up like some people claim it would have traveled an estimated distance of 620 feet if left unimpeded. However, the reality is that the ball was already on its way down, and those reporting the trajectory were victimized by a common optical illusion. It is a scientific fact that if Mantle, or anyone else, had sufficient strength to hit a ball that was still traveling upward when it met the towering facade, he would also have enough strength to clear that same facade by a distance of at least 100 feet. In order for the ball to be rising at roof level, it would have to have been traveling at a lower angle than that which produces maximum distance. If Mantle had provided the same power or velocity, but had launched the ball at a higher and more efficient angle, it would have passed out of Yankee Stadium at a height of over 200 feet! Mantle hit the facade on two or perhaps three occasions, but never cleared it.\nSource(s):\nYou can also go to:\n\nhttp://www.baseball-almanac.com/feats/ar...

I searched on Yahoo and found a Wikipedia article that gave this answer:\n\n"On the mound there is a white rubber slab, called the pitcher's plate or commonly the rubber, six inches (15 cm) front-to-back and two feet (61 cm) across, the front of which is exactly sixty feet six inches (18.4 m) from the rear point of home plate"

50/70 = 70 foot base paths & 50 feet from Pitchers Rubber to Front of home plate.\n\nLittle League (small diamond) has 60 foot base paths,  Regulation Fields have 90 foot base paths. \n\n50/70 is typically used as a stepping stone between the two, by 12-13 year olds.

The plate appearance counts but the base doesn't.  the play counts the same as if the fielder did not committ the error.  So if a hitter reaches base via error, their OB% will go down.

The world record is 445 feet 10 inches set by Glen Gorbous in 1957, a minor leaguer at the time.\n\nhttp://thelongestlistofthelongeststuffatthelongestdomainnameatlonglast.com/long197.html

The average ball lasts 5-7 pitches.  If it touches the dirt it can affect the velocity of the pitchers throw.  You will often see a pitcher throw a ball back to the umpire so he can get rid of it and have the team use it for BP the next day.

So whats your question...and the 0-2 pitch bottom of the ninth down by a run man on first, and its a long fly ball...the center fielder going back...back...back to the wall...leaps and its a HomeRum scoring two points :D

60 feet and 6 inches.  It was origionaly a misreading where the groundscrew read the 0 as a 6.  The mound is also raised about 10".

Yes - It was originallly 45 feet.  In 1881, the distance was set at 50 feet from home plate.    In 1893, it was lengthened to 60 feet, 6 inches, which is the current distance.

The playing field is divided into fair territory and foul territory. Fair territory is further divided into the infield, the outfield, and the territory beyond the outfield fence.\n\nThe field is defined by two baselines or foul lines that meet at a right angle at home plate. The minimum length of the baselines varies classification of play (see below for official measurements). A fence running between the baselines defines the limits of the field; this fence is equidistant from home plate at all points.\n\nBehind home plate is a backstop. It must be between 25 and 30 feet (7.62 and 9.14 meters) behind home plate.\n\nHome plate is made of rubber. It is a five-sided figure, a combination of a rectangle and triangle, 17 in (43 cm) wide. The sides are 8.5 in (22 cm) long. The triangle fits into the right angle formed by the baselines.\n\nHome plate is one corner of a diamond with bases at each corner. The bases other than home plate are 15 in (38 cm) square, of canvas or a similar material, and not more than 5 in (13 cm) thick. The bases are usually securely fastened in position. The bases are numbered counter clockwise as first base, second base, and third base. Outside first base (that is, in foul territory) and adjacent and connected to it is a contrast-coloured "double base" or "safety base". It is intended to prevent collisions between the first baseman and the runner. The runner runs for the foul portion of the double base after hitting the ball while the fielding team tries to throw the ball to the regular first base before the runner reaches the safety base. However, not all softball diamonds have these safety bases and they are much more common in women's softball than in men's. The double base is required in ISF championships.\n\nThe infield consists of the diamond and the adjacent space in which the infielders (see below) normally play. The outfield is the remaining space between the baselines and between the outfield fence and the infield. The infield is usually "skinned" (dirt), while the outfield has grass in regulation competitions.\n\nNear the centre of the diamond is the pitching plate. In fast pitch, a skinned circle 8 feet (2.44 meters) in diameter known as the pitching circle is around the pitching plate.\n\nA field is officially supposed to have a warning track between 15 and 12 feet (5 and 4 meters) from the outfield fence. However, if the game is being played on a field larger than required, no warning track is required before the temporary outfield fencing.\n\nLocated in foul territory outside both baselines are two Coach's Boxes. Each box is behind a line 15 feet (5 meters) long located 12 feet (3 meters) from each baseline.\n\n\n[edit] Official baseline dimensions\nFast Pitch Baselines Slow Pitch Baselines \n60 ft (18.29 m) 60 ft or 65 ft (19.81 m) \n\n\n[edit] Fast pitch pitching dimensions\nAdult Under 18 Under 15 \nFemale Male Female Male Female Male \n43 ft (13.11 m) 46 ft (14.02 m) 40 ft (12.19 m)or 35 ft 46 ft (14.02 m) 40 ft (12.19 m)or 35 ft 46 ft (14.02 m) \n\n\n[edit] Slow pitch pitching distances\nAdult Under 18 Under 15 \nFemale Male Coed Female Male Female Male \n46 ft (14.02 m) 50 ft (15.24 m) 50 ft (15.24 m) 46 ft (14.02 m) 46 ft (14.02 m) 46 ft (14.02 m) 46 ft (14.02 m \n\n\nall same
