Is a baseball diamond really a diamond?

The baseball term diamond is in reference to the object you would see if you drew a line from home plate to first base, first base to second base, second base to third base, and third base to home plate. Each of these lines would be the same length (90 feet), therefore, the object would look like a square if you were sitting down the left field or right field lines. But if you were sitting in center field or behind home plate, the object would look like a diamond. A diamond is really a square turned on it's side.

Why are all baseball stadiums built differently as in the measurements and the width and length things like that?

Rule 1.04 of the Official Rules of MLB states that the minimum distance to a fence will be 325 feet and minimum to center field will be 400 feet. There is no set distance specified in the rules so the distances to the fences can be different between teams as long as they meet the minimum requirements. Teams will build their ballpark to fit the style they want to play. A team with a lot of offensive power may want their fences to be closer to home plate than a team that relies on pitching and defense. Another aspect of building a stadium is how much money its going to cost. The more money it costs the more amenities it will have, such as luxary seating, number of parking spaces, swimming pools, restaurants, and such. The basic design of the baseball field cannot be changed, that is, the shape of the field and the distance between bases and foul lines. But as far as how many seats the stadium will have, how much parking, what food will be served ... all of that is all left up to whoever owns the stadium.
