Re: *** Official NY Mets Our OFFSEASON Has Come Thread ***
Vyse,
Since you appear to be too retarded to understand, I will spell it out for you.
Anyone who knows anything about baseball agrees that, particularly in the late 90s and early 2000s, Coors Field had a significant impact on offensive numbers. This is due not only to the altitude, but to the dimensions of the ballpark, particularly the spaciousness of the outfield. This has been written about many times.
In fact, the effect was so marked, that (and I hope you're sitting down for this one) THEY NOW KEEP THE BALLS IN A HUMIDOR TO KEEP THEM FROM DRYING OUT!
For you to argue that hitters home/away numbers in/away from Coors Field during that time period were largely irrelevant is, well, idiotic.
So yes, you owned me.
