Build them like the Polo Grounds, old Yankee Stadium, and tiger Stadium, with nice, short, inviting foul lines and a deep centerfield. You have fences for the power hitters, good power alleys to produce lots of doubles (ane therfore men on base), and a place for pitchers where balls can go to die.

Ballparks like that make oyu play a mor einteresting brand of baseball.

The Polo Grounds wasn't built that way for the purpose you describe. It was built that way because it also served as a football field. That's the same reason why the old Yankee Stadium was so deep to left-centerfield and so shallow to right field.
