Crazy High School Baseball Fields

See this article from Bleacher Nation.  The field used by Guthrie, OK high school may be my new favorite baseball field.  Dimensions something like 280-300-600-300-280, with a full football field in center.  Reminds me a bit of old Exhibition Stadium in Toronto where there was most of a CFL field that stretched on for a long, long way behind CF and RC.  I saw a game there in 1987, and Ben Oglivie hit a homer in that direction that may have rolled 500' on the AstroTurf. Might have been more fun if they just didn't put a fence there.

This also makes me recall a field I saw from a train in the Czech Republic 20 years ago.  First, I was surprised to see a baseball field in the Czech Republic, but also that there was a gully or ravine about 30-40 feet behind first base.  So the effective dimensions were something like 300-330-380-250-125.

I welcome any other entries you might have.
