I have been playing stick ball for a long time. When we play, we play in school yards where there are painted bases and base lines. But we play real baseball style-If there is a ground ball the ball must be thrown to the base for an out and so on. We have a high fence in right about 13ft and its 180ft away in the center there is no fence and the ball just keeps going but in right is the school and half way up is the home run about 20ft high and 190ft deep.
