Yankees who hit at least: 25 Home Runs home or road. Details and surprises.

Yankee fans should spend time on these numbers. There's lots of interesting stuff and surprises.

The original Yankee Stadium had the same basic configuration 1923-1973. It was refurbished and reconfigured in 1974-1975 and the Yankees played in Shea Stadium, home of the Mets. When it reopened in 1976 center and left center fences were closer to home and the distances were further reduced.

Yankee catcher Elston Howard (1955-1967) called left center Death Valley. By the time Elston joined the Yankees, straight away center was 461 and to the left behind the monuments and flag pole 473. Left center was 457. Right center was "only" 407.

The current Yankee Stadium opened in 2009 retaining the short porch in right ... for Babe Ruth who died in 1948. Center and left center were much closer and players and baseballs were juiced.

Generality suggested by the data here: Death Valley in left center hurt more than the short porch in right helped. Juan Soto take note.

Will Juan Soto bore Yankee fans with all his walks ... and only 32 Home Runs? Friday, December 29, 2023

Here's the data:

In the Regular Season, from 1901 to 2023, Playing for NYY, Home (within Home or Away), requiring Home Runs >= 25, sorted by greatest Home Runs.
