The LA Coliseum was an usual configuration for baseball: 200 ft. down the line and a 60 ft. Screen:

Wally Moon was famous for his "Moon Shot", a short high fly ball that would be an out in almost any other park. I saw him there a few times, with my cousin actually getting one of his home run balls. Unfortunately a bigger kid took it from him (we were 9 and 10 at the time).

RIP Mr. Moon

Brings back memories of the Dodgers at the L.A. Coliseum. Amazing how they shoehorned a baseball field into that stadium. Dodgers played there for four years until Dodger Stadium opened.

I saw the Dodgers play there (i.e., the L.A. Coliseum), many times.
