While it's clear that Fenway helps doubles and depresses homeruns to a degree, these Park Factor stats are very flawed. Fenway hops all over the place year to year, when it's the same park and same relative park each year. If the Red Sox offense flukily perform much better at home (or start stealing pitches or signing players that do well at Fenway) while the Red Sox defense flukily perform much better on the road then it's going to throw it off by a lot. In terms of RS, Fenway's ranks since 2001 have been: 14, 15, 2, 6, 13, 13, 1. Strangely, Fenway is the most run friendly park in the majors in the same year that the Red Sox lead the league in ERA.
