Located in Monroe, Michigan, at 2497 Bluebush Rd., Frenchtown Field is the Home of the Wiffling DeLoppes.
After alot of tweeking, trial-and-error, and much grooming, Frenchtown Field is almost finished. Here are the final measurements and features: Standing in left field is an 8-foot tall 40-foot long wall that measures 85' 6" down the line and 94' at its distal end. The wall drops down for the next 7 feet to 7-feet tall for the power alley in left at a distance of 95' from the plate. The fence takes its final elevation drop to the height of 6' 6" tall and extends to 99' 6" in straight-away centerfield, then it stretches out to 107' in the rightfield power alley, it then travels home a bit to 92' in right field, and finishes its journey down the line in right at an even 84'. Frenchtown Field sits on top of a small hill that allows for drainage into the swamp behind the right field wall, which keeps the field dry and pretty much mud-free throughout the wet months of April and May. Other unique features at Frenchtown are its 8" tall pitcher's mound and suspended strike zone.
