But that's for another forum). However, I am on board with this experiment, since it makes sense to fix this anomaly.

The distance between bases varies depending on which bases are being discussed and these distance are are described in the post above.Tom Shieberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06064785129807399476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6055358841733153770.post-82988362266109720602018-08-05T22:16:28.148-04:002018-08-05T22:16:28.148-04:00The distance between the bases is actually 90 feet...The distance between the bases is actually 90 feet if you want to get technical, and it seems that you do. What you calculated was the distance between the bags/plate, which is different than the "base" according to the rule book.
