Jerome,

 

I would like to correct any and all errors in Green Cathedrals.

 

My guess is that the 380 feet measurement for RF at Shibe Park was listed as a foul line distance when it really was a power alley measurement but stated as a foul line measurement, as in Right Field. This is a common problem in the 1910's and 1920's when some clubs listed power alley measurements as Left Field or Right Field rather than as Left Center or Right Center. I have corrected this for Shibe Park.

 

Which is the correct height of the spite fence from the ground in right field, rather than the ground outside the park, is it 34 or 36 feet? I have always believed that it is 34 feet.

 

Thank you very much for writing and we will do everything in our power to get it right.
