Curtis Granderson: home run rate Detroit v. New York.

Curtis Granderson took advantage of playing his home games in Yankee Stadium to hit more home runs.  Rate: At Bats (AB) divided by Home Runs (HR).  Lower is better.  Click link for data.

Didn't we already know that?  Maybe.  I decided to check and put his numbers into context.  His home rates on the road are fairly consistent, improving with age, which coincided with changing to the Yankees.
