How is it cosmetic irl? The distance in Cincy is a "real" 328 ft.

In OOTP the "328" ft. isn't real. That's why if you change it 800 ft, you'll still have HR's to LF, but they'll show as having travelled 800 ft plus.

If you go to CIncy (irl) and move the LF fence back to 800 ft, well, that will be real and you won't be seeing anymore HR's to LF ever again in Cincy.

That's what I mean by "cosmetic".

IRL - distances are real with a real effect.

In OOTP, they aren't real, nor is that effect.
