You know, I hadn’t really noticed the greatly decreased park effects of recent vintage. I talked to a couple of people and they say that it is for real and the cause is that the organization built a new club section of some sort and it changed the wind patterns. It’s interesting. It was pretty consistently a very good hitter’s park for its entire history until a couple years ago. I’m surprised it hasn’t recieved more press.
