The foul lines at the Polo Grounds were ridiculously short — shorter than the infamously short porch at Yankee Stadium. I believe that the RF line was 276, if memory serves me correctly. But like Yankee Stadium, the Polo Grounds had a very deep center field — 505. That was whee Mays made the incredible catch in the 1954 World Series off Vic Wertz.

Tiger Stadium was somewhat similar. I wish we built ballparks like that today.
