The biggest difference for either player was for Aaron 1972 and 1973 when Mays played mostly for the Mets whose home park was Shea Stadium: 13 and 12 points. Mays topped out with a nine point edge in 1957, his Giants last season in New York where they played at the Polo Grounds.
This only matters for something like the simple thing I was trying to do: figure the percent above the league average, which is becoming an increasingly elusive concept.
