Yep. Hockey and soccer goal sizes are uniform, just like rubber to plate and
base to base distances are uniform. But the playing field dimensions aren't.

And if, say, by rule all baseball fields had to be a uniform size, a HR wouldn't necessarily be a HR the same everywhere. Balls that would leave the standard sized ballpark in Colorado or other higher elevation places would not leave parks in lower elevation/humid places.

You don't have to be a baseball purist to love the variation of baseball fields. Houston's hill and pole in CF may be a little much, no doubt, but the different dimensions and aesthetics of each stadium is great.
