REPORT: NEW SIZE OF YANKEE STADIUM CAUSING HOME RUNS

POST STAFF REPORT
June 9, 2009 --

It's a small field, after all.

After claims that the dimensions of the new Yankee Stadium were identical to the old, AccuWeather.com reported today that slight differences in the new park are mainly responsible for the record number of home runs.

The weather Web site says, "Taking into account the dimensions of the field and wall height, AccuWeather.com has calculated that 19 percent (20 out of 105) home runs would not have flown out of the old stadium."

The report by meteorologist Tim Buckley says losing a "gentle curve" in the fence as it extends from right field to center field, caused by a new scoreboard, has the ballpark playing up to 9 feet shorter in spots. Combined with 2-foot-shorter wall heigths, it has caused the home-run surge.

The stadium is on pace to see 293 home runs, threatening the major-league record of 303 hit at Denver's Coors Field in its opening season of 1999.

It has generated criticism throughout the game, with ESPN's Peter Gammons last month saying the new stadium is "the biggest joke in baseball."

The dimensions posted on the fences of the new Stadium are identical to the old one: 314 feet down the right-field line; 385 to right-center; 408 to center field; 399 to left-center; and 314 down the left-field line.

Yankee Stadium established new records for home runs hit during an opening series, and saw 75 homers in its first 20 games (3.75 per game). The pace has slowed very slightly, with 30 in the past nine games (3.33 per game).

AccuWeather says, "no consistent pattern [has been] observed in the wind speed and direction that would lead to an increase in home runs so far this year."

The Associated Press says 63 of the 105 have been hit to right field. There have been 10 games with at least five home runs, including Monday night.

The Yankees have hit 57 home runs, their opponents 48, going 18-11 in the first 29 games there.

I wouldn't say its cheating but the deck is stacked heavily in their favor thats for sure. I mean they are the most storied franchise in all of baseball, they have an owner that would do whatever it takes to win AND they play in the biggest market in the entire world, which brings them in more revenue then any other team in ALL of sports. All that adds up to MONEY, MONEY, MONEY and MORE MONEY!

Its just going to get worse from here on out just due to the fact that they can easily go out and buy the best players on the market and overpay for the average ones when they strikeout on their prospects. 90% of the other teams in the league cannot do that, they rely on their farm systems. When they miss on a prospect they can't go out and out bid other teams for players to compensate for it like the Yankees can.

So now all they are going to do from here on out is make sure they have a stacked lineup year n' and year out who can smash the ball to right field likes its nothing and hope their pitching can hold up...if not, they'll just go out on the FA market and pick and choose who they want with Monopoly money like they always do. On that note I have to say....

FUCK THA YANKEES AND THEIR BITCH ASS FANS!
