Forbes Field Stats

Forbes Field, where Bill Mazeroski hit the epic homer to end the 1960 WS, was 300 feet down the line in right and 365 down the line in left. How deep was it to center field???

462 is correct.

462 doesn't feel right. 457 does. whether that was the actual measurement, i don't know.
also, i don't think that the deepest part of the park was to dead centre--i want think it was skewed a bit toward right-centre.
any of the ball park.
there is a cardboard model--for purchase--of forbes field on the market. the thing has to three feet across when finished.
