In HomerDerby.com’s never-ending quest to have the most informed and competitive Home Run Derby participants around – we’re unveiling our Ballpark Profiles.
Why? Because guys who play half their games in Launching Pads are just more valuable in HomerDerby than guys who play in stadia that don’t provide their outfield-dwelling fans with free souvenirs. This week and next we’ll take a closer look at some of the places MLB players call home – and how their stadium can effect their HR production.
To start off, below is a list of all 30 current Major League Ballparks and how they’ve stacked up over the last three seasons (provided they’ve been in use that long). Keep in mind the data includes pitcher AB, so the NL Park stats shown are probably a little deflated.
