hitting havens for righties? lefties?
charlesblalack had a good-running poll about the ballpark that most favors hitters.

i'd like to see what you guys think about this breakdown:

which ballparks are the ones that favor right-handers the most?

left-handers?

take into consideration, f'rinstance, batting average, extra-base hits and slugging as separate issues.

Great American Ballpark
Great American Ballpark is a haven for left handed hitters like Adam Dunn and Ken Griffey, Jr.

The short porch in Yankee Stadium is a haven for lefthanded power hitters and right handers enjoy the green monster in Fenway park.
