Description
"It's 'legit!': The left-field line at Hughes Stadium for 1975 will conform to the minimum standard of 250 feet as required by the rules of organized baseball. Bob Fretias, left, field representative of the National Association of Professional Baseball leagues (minors), made sure of it yesterday when he joined Hughes field contrator Ed Estrada and John Carbray, general manager of the Sacramento Solons at home plate. The actual distance will be 251 feet. They also measured the other distances -- to center 395, to right 309, to left-center (at the third pole) 326 and to right-center (scoreboard) as 342. The 40-foot screen will remain in left, the 30-footer in left-center and the eight foot fence in right"
