Green Monster Homerun question

[ArcticKnight]

Hi

I have watched the Red Sox since 1973, intially picking up the cable feed out of Bangor, Maine (anyone remember the ads for Stacey's Fuel Mart??). Anyway, over the years I am sure we have all noticed that the green monster has given up home runs that would not have gone out of any other ball park. On the other hand, the monster has "prevented" would-be homeruns as well. We have all seen line drive shots high off the wall that would have been out of most other parks.

What ratio would you estimate the amount of home runs giveun up is to the amount of home runs denied, based on the factors noted above (compared to the average AL ball park).

If there has been any formal studies on this, I couldn't find any of them.

Thx
