Oh, New Yankee Stadium. A billion dollars apparently gets you this concrete monstrosity (but sadly no revenge game):
While the “jet stream” narrative in its debut year hasn’t been brought up since, the fact remains that this stadium is a bandbox. 314 feet to right field? 318 to left? And no high wall at either spot? Come on now. The Yankees are running a 116 wRC+ - tied with Houston for the Major League lead - but the M’s aren’t far behind at 106, good for fifth. And hitter-friendly ballparks usually work both ways, right?
Not today.
