I only now, on July 6th, 2006, probably nearly two decades after seeing the movie, just realized that the "baseball diamond" is more than just a reference to the sheer size of the diamond: A baseball diamond is actually a typical term in baseball. :-P It refers to the shape made by connecting each of the four bases together on the field. I never made that connection as a child. I just realized it and laughed myself silly! I miss Henson.... *sob*
