No, baseball fields are laid out in a variety of directions. However, early baseball rules recommended that the field be laid out with the line between home plate and 2nd base running north to south and 3rd to 1st east to west. Not sure why this was recommended, but speculate that because all baseball was played in the daytime before the 1930s, that it was preferred to have the sun setting behind 1st base so that the firstbaseman would not have a "sun in the eyes" problem on throws to first.

According to the 2012 Major League Baseball rules a baseball field is recommended to face east northeast.

The first baseball game in the Metrodome was an exhibition game, played April 3, 1982, between the Twins and the Philadelphia Phillies. Kent Hrbek of the Twins hit the first home run in that game and, therefore, the first home run in Metrodome history. The first regular season baseball game played in the Metrodome was April 6, 1982 between the Twins and Seattle Mariners. The first home run hit in that game was by Dave Engle of the Twins and, therefore, is the first home run hit in a regular season game in Metrodome history.

Well, the Twins didn't have a mascot at this time, but they did have a familar bear.

A 1984 Detroit Tigers Team Signed Baseball with the key signatures: Anderson, Trammell, Whitaker, Morris, Johnson, Gibson, and Hernandez is worth about $350.-$500.

Value is based on average prices of recently closed auctions. Prices may vary based on condition, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the baseball. Prices may also vary based on the amount of signatures, and key signatures acquired. The more complete the baseball with key signatures the more valuable. If the signatures are not properly authenticated the baseball could sell at half the market value or less.

The franchise began as the Washington Senators in 1901. As of April 23, 2008, the Senators/Twins franchise record is 7,975 wins and 8,607 losses. They have won three World Series Championships (1924, 1987, 1991).

The Twins did not win the World Series in 1988 ... the Los Angeles Dodgers won that year. The Twins did win the World Series in 1987 and their third baseman was Gary Gaetti.

Since pro baseball players were paid much less back in the 1900's... many people think that they are paid too much. The average pro baseball salary is 12 million dollars, acording to U.S. baseball. So the answer is YES.
