Yes, this was a rule in MLB until 1930. The rule was changed for the 1931 season to read:
"A fair hit ball which bounces through or over a fence, or into the stands, is considered a ground rule double instead of a home run."
436 feet to right center field at Minute Maid Park, home of the Houston Astros.
I've seen home runs where they've bounced off the noggin of the guy chasing after it. If it's in fair territory, if it goes over the wall it's a homer, unless it bounces off the ground and then goes over. Then it's a ground-rule double.

Home run.
The dingo fence is 5613 km in length although some of that is in disrepair. It is the longest fence in the world.
It depends on the specific baseball field you are referring to. The distance from home plate to the center field fence can vary between 400 to 440 feet in most Major League Baseball (MLB) stadiums.
The length of a standard baseball field is approximately 90-95 meters (300-330 feet) from home plate to the outfield fence.

The play, Fences, has a major theme of deception. The most important and obvious deceptions relate to Troy and his self-deceptions. For example, Troy believes that race was the only factor that made him unable to play major league baseball. The truth is, his age is also a significant factor.
Yes there is a regulation size for Major League Baseball fields, in the case of the infield, it needs to be a 90 foot square. The outfield does not have any regulation size between the 2 foul poles, their regulation size is only in the case of its distance to home plate so the distance between home plate and the Outfield fence must be at least 250 feet however along the foul lines the distance between the plate and the outfield fencce must be at least 320 feet and the distance must be at least 400 feet between the plate and the fence in Center Field.

You look through a hole in the fence to watch a Baseball game.

A ball hit over the fence
Baseball rules do not specify the distance to the outfield fence, so fields vary in size. Little league fields usually measure around 200 feet to the fences, meaning the field would cover just under an acre.
