Play wiffle ball at Fenway....kind of

[Bravesfan_22]

In Jericho Vermont there is a miniature Fenway Park used for a little league field and for wiffle ball. It sounds kinda bizzare but it has the manual scoreboard on the green monster, the bullpen, the distinctive centerfield corner, and even has the all the retired numbers of the Red Sox hanging in a tree in Right Field.

That is actually kind of cool. It would be awesome if more towns adopted this idea for their baseball fields....mini-recreations of distinctive MLB parks past and present.

...or the old Astrodome.

Man I love this, I really do. Can you imagine what this could do for Little League baseball or sandlot baseball in general. What better way to spark the love of the game and to remind people of the rich tradition than a replica ballpark?

So the LF foul line at the Green Monster is 71.3 ft

LCF apex=87.17 ft

RCF apex=96.6 ft

Never had the pleasure of playing whiffle ball. Is these distances attainable?
