Who cares about since it opened - Jacobs was a different place, with
exuberant sellouts every day the first few years. Crisp wasn't playing
under those conditions. Since those days attendance went way down - that
in itself can affect the nature of play. And as far as pitching and
hitting talent, you do know park factor calculations are based on
road/home differentials that correct for that sort of thing, right?

How does that affect the price of fish?

OK, look at the 3 year aggregate splits. Still significantly better on the
road.

In what? 43 AB. Get real.

The explain the park factor in some rational way.

And then there is the reverse factor. Damon was significantly less
productive outside Fenway.

The premise is still there - Lupica is not nuts to claim that Crisp is the
equal of Damon.
