What is the deepest centerfield in MLB history?

Comerica Park, and its distance of 422 feet to dead center field, became the longest field in all of baseball.

12. Minute Maid Park (Houston Astros) With the deepest center field of any park in baseball—one that features a flagpole and hill that are in play—you'd think that Minute Maid Park in Houston would be more of a pitcher's park than a hitter's park.

Who has the deepest outfield in MLB? Speaking of Comerica Park, it is the only stadium in baseball with a 420-foot sign in dead center field. Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox, also has a 420-foot sign on its outfield wall, but that is more in right-center.

Fenway Park, Boston Red Sox

Fenway Park opened in 1912 and remains the oldest Major League Baseball stadium still in use. The park has the shortest distance of any field in baseball to left field (310 feet) or right field (302 feet). In left field and left center field stands the Green Monster, at 37' 2" tall.

That honor goes to Coors Field. Even though it is the league's largest ballpark, the altitude in Denver helps sluggers get extra distance on their fly balls.

No estimate has ever been given for its length, although it is safe to say it was easily over 500 feet, and may have approached 600 feet. A tremendous blast by any standards. In a single game Mantle hit two homers that were longer than most major league players hit in a career!

Creamer, who spent most of his illustrious writing career with Sports Illustrated, wrote an article in 1956 that explains what we have lost. On May 30, 1956, Mickey Mantle came within a foot or two of hitting a ball out of Yankee Stadium.
