      So, looking into it, the Sacramento Waldorf School is an antivax liberal arts K-12 school, that doesn't have any sports teams, save for a girl's soccer team. Online reviews also seem to hint at some odd mystical and racist ideologies.

    Loved seeing one in New Hampshire make the list! Another weird one in New Hampshire is Humiston Field in Jaffery. I played on this field as part of the visiting team, it's home to the Conant High School Orioles. Before 2011, right field was a super short porch due to trees marking a property line. Now it's been moved out but there's a building in play in right and you can see in the grass where the right field fence used to be. Left field is really far out as they also play soccer and football in the outfield. I'd love to see this field make the cut for the next video!

    Bro, that first one was like an optical illusion jump scare. I did not notice it at all. I was looking at the diamond next to it thinking "that looks fine, i dont see anything weird about it." Then when he pointed out the infield inside the track I was like "OH GOD! WHY?!"

    I know this won’t make the list, but Finger Lakes Community College is genuinely my favourite baseball stadium out there. It has a soccer field in the outfield, and while this means the furthest to the right and left field is stupidly far, at least it is even and fair for both left and right handed hitters. Also, the distance to centre field is actually normal which I love.

    3:20 At Poly Tech, the “fence” isn’t perpendicular to the trajectory of the ball. So if the ball hits it, it doesn’t bounce back into the field, it actually continues further into left (or right) field.

    I've mentioned this field a few times, but Central Park D1/D2 deserves to be on a list like this. It's 2 baseball diamonds at opposite ends of a field with a cricket pitch in the middle (and no outfield fences). If you rotate the wicket 90 degrees, it looks like a giant TF. Angela White would approve

    I'm concerned that Trona high school's football field appears to be only 40 yards wide or so, which makes me think it's a regulation length 8-man or 6-man field.

  • @JimTheFly

    I think I once played a game on that North Arlington HS field. It was about 30 years ago and was before the track was put in, but I remember that short right field just against the river
    There's also a hilariously misshapen field-in-a-field here in Bayonne that's used for Little League. The current dimensions are 181 (possibly, see later) to RF, 217 to CF and just 140 to LF but with a higher fence... and the warning track looks as wide as THIRTY-FIVE FEET at points. Also, it appears that the right field foul area stops at around 156 ft, so there is about 25 feet of wall that is technically in fair territory that is just along the foul like.
    But the crazy part is the field this was built on. The fence from the LF pole to center was only about 8 feet, but the fence from CF to the RF pole is around 25 feet, maybe 30, in order to protect the houses sat right behind it (but just on the other side of some train tracks) The dimensions of this field? 181 to RF, 163 to LF.... and *351* to CF
