    Short answer: 90 feet.

    Long answer (This may be more than you want to know....)

    THE PLAYING FIELD. The field shall be laid out according to the instructions below. The infield shall be a 90-foot square.

    The outfield shall be the area between two foul lines formed by extending two sides of the square. The distance from home base to the nearest fence, stand or other obstruction on fair territory shall be 250 feet or more. A distance of 320 feet or more along the foul lines, and 400 feet or more to center field is preferable.

    When location of home base is determined, with a steel tape measure 127 feet, 3 3/8 inches in desired direction to establish second base.

    From home base, measure 90 feet toward first base; from second base, measure 90 feet toward first base; the intersection of these lines establishes first base.

    From home base, measure 90 feet toward third base; from second base, measure 90 feet toward third base; the intersection of these lines establishes third base.

    The distance between first base and third base is 127 feet, 3 3/8 inches.
