Many of you are probably familiar with it, at least passingly, and anybody who isn’t should be able to figure out what is so unusual about it by looking at this satellite image.

The fact that it faces roughly westward?

My one and only trip to Wahconah Park was in late July or early August of 1991 -- 20 years ago. Amazing how quickly time flies.

It was a quirky ballpark with the "sun delays" in center, but in a sign of how far MiLB has come in just 20 years, Wahconah was actually one of the better New York-Penn ballparks at the time. (And it was only a couple years removed from being a Double-A ballpark.)

Does it look like a diamond?

the infield. Absolutely. Now there does seem to be disagreement about whether the diamond is the whole field (wikipedia) or the infield (baseball almanac, free online dictionary).

Just for fun, here you can see the orientation of all MLB ballparks, at Flip Flop Fly Ball.

Yes, what is so unusual about Wahconah (which was the subject of a Jim Bouton which was a interesting look at small-city politics) is that it faces West. Because of the fact it faces west (it is one of- if not THE- oldest stadium in America, from long before there were lights), there are occasionally, as Joe said, "sun delays" when the sun sets.

Although, yeah, it DOES look like a honest-to-goodness diamond, because the outfield is elongated to allow for High School football.

Also looks like CF is not the deepest part of the park.

@7: correct, although I think the latest configuration involves a temporary, three foot high fence in right field that gives the field more conventional, symmetrical dimensions. It takes a little getting used to, to see kids wandering around behind the right fielder. The temporary fence is painted green and there's no warning track, so from the stands the temp fence blends in with the background. At certain times it looks like kids are just walking around or having a catch in the deep, RF grass. A strange, pleasant sight.

Waconah is a very pleasant place to catch a game, although with the sun delay, it's not unusual for a 7pm game to last past 11. Inexpensive food and drink, intelligent fans. Box seats are something like $9.
