What direction does home plate face at the new Twins Target Field ball park?

No, Baseball fields are laid out in a variety of directions. However, early baseball rules recommended that the field be laid out with the line between home plate and 2nd base running north to south and 3rd to 1st east to west. Not sure why this was recommended, but speculate that because all baseball was played in the daytime before the 1930s, that it was preferred to have the sun setting behind 1st base so that the firstbaseman would not have a "sun in the eyes" problem on throws to first.
According to the 2012 Major League Baseball rules a baseball field is recommended to face east northeast.

What direction is the wind blowing at Coors Field if it is blowing straight out from Home Plate to straightaway center field?
North west
In which direction is the indo-australian plate moving?
The Indo-Australian plate moves Northeast as the Pacific Plate moves around it in a Northwest direction as if rotating.
What direction do plate tectonics move in?
They don't move in a specific direction. Every plate moves in it's own direction and sometimes they can change directions.
What kind of motion occurs at a transform plate boundary?
At a transform plate boundary, the motion is horizontal and parallel to the boundary. The plates slide past each other in opposite directions, causing earthquakes due to the friction between the plates. This type of boundary is also known as a strike-slip boundary.
What direction do the convergent plate move?
Convergent plates move towards each other, leading to the collision and subduction of one plate beneath the other. This movement often results in the formation of mountain ranges, deep ocean trenches, and volcanic activity.
What is the direction of the plate and how does this compare to the trend in direction of the island chain?
The direction of the plate movement is typically towards the subduction zone. This is generally parallel or oblique to the trend of the island chain that forms above the subduction zone.
What direction does the pacific plate moving?
eastward
What direction does the Scotia plate move in?
The Scotia Plate moves eastward and slightly northward.
What direction is the Cocos Plate moving?
The Cocos Plate is moving in a northeast direction. It is converging with the North American Plate, leading to subduction.
What direction does the Indian Plate shift?
it moves upwards into the eurasian plate to form Himalayas
What direction is cocos plate moving?
Cocos Plate is moving towards the north-east.
What is Electric field intensity due to an infinite uniformly uncharged conducting plate?
The electric field intensity due to an infinite uniformly uncharged conducting plate is zero. This is because the charges within the plate are free to rearrange instantaneously to cancel out any external electric field. Therefore, outside the plate, the electric field is effectively zero.
