Absolutely no to no standards. Thats one of the stupidest things about baseball. And there are a lot of stupid things about baseball.

Thanked for the hybrid ice-size argument (although I'm not a big baseball guy either
)
I made this argument in some other thread, but I think that even just a little more width out there would make enough of a difference to give fleet skaters and playmakers more creative options. I also think it would go a long way toward reducing inadvertent high speed collisions (perhaps reducing concussions that result).
The game has increased in player speed, size and skill, but the playing surface hasn't adjusted accordingly. In my view, it's a change that's way overdue.
