Little League field

Children's baseball venue

A Little League field is a baseball diamond scaled down for youth players, with shorter base paths (typically 60 feet versus 90 in professional baseball) and a closer pitching distance.

The term often evokes small-town Americana—volunteer coaches, concession stands, parents in lawn chairs: We spent every Saturday at the Little League field.
