I don't know why ballparks have always been so irregular but quirky dimensions, weird angles, and various wall heights in the same park...it's one of the things I enjoy most about watching baseball And as for the arguments all that causes when comparing player stats...meh. There's a reason they blew up the boring circular stadiums built in the 60s/70s.
