Park Factor: Yankees, Red Sox, Tigers, White Sox

Batting park factor (BPF) 1903-2012.  Click link to view data and graph.



Contrary to popular belief the Yankees have usually played in a home park that favored pitchers, not hitters.  The Boston Red Sox, not surprisingly, played home games in parks that favored batters.

BPF is derived from run scoring.  Data used here originated in the Sean Lahman database.
