Instead, I go to a baseball field and run it really fast all the way from one end to the other, then jog back to recover, then run it really fast back down, etc....about how many times, on average, should I do this to develop the endurance to maintain a 7 min/mile pace for 6 miles?

You will not make a 7:00/mile pace by jogging at all.
Find a local school with a 440 track and run for time. Most schools have tracks.
Get a partner who is slightly faster than you and run with him.
Search the board here for additional running tips.
