Joe DiMaggio in different ballparks
Posted on 3/13/24 at 9:52 pm
Posted on 3/13/24 at 9:52 pm
in the Crazy Joe DiMaggio stat thread, someone mentioned that playing in New York made Joe a star and he wouldn't have been one elsewhere.
That lead to discussion of ballparks.
well, the baseball nerd in me took over and I got to comparing ballparks for a RH pull hitter like DiMaggio.
I used my massively amazing MS Paint skills to put together some comps.
DiMaggio's most prolific HR season was 1937 when he hit 46.
We don't have spray charts available to know how far and what directions he hit them, but we do have splits to tell us what parks he hit them in.
so next several posts will be comparing 1937 Yankee Stadium to the other Stadiums he homered in back in 1937, as well as the current stadiums for those teams.

First off, Yankee Stadium (obviously)
Joe played 77 games there in '37 and hit 19 bombs.
And Yankee Stadium was HUGE in left field back then compared to the modern version.
Black Line is where current Yankee Stadium fence would fall compared to 1937
I don't think it's a stretch to say he would likely have hit noticeably more with the current configuration.

I would have told the audience which way (or both) DiMaggio batted. I had to look that up myself. Old Yankee stadium favored lefties.

Why were baseball stadiums so screwed up in the outfield?
Did they not have better land available to build a somewhat symmetrical park?

Mate,
Next do Tom Brady rushing yards in NFC stadiums, but make sure you break up Rams by St. Louis dome, Olympic Coliseum in LA, and new Rams stadium. Also break up Cowboys stadiums and 49ers stadiums into old and new.
Cheers mate

I have a book, which I can't find at the moment, saying that Babe Ruth, hitting in today's ballparks, would have hit 104 HRs in
1921
ETA. Writers name was Bill Jenkinson

Are there any available dimensions for Negro League parks? I’d like to know what Josh Gibson was cranking out. This is a cool arse thread. You win.

Instead of spray charts, wouldn't it be easier to take his numbers in each park and extrapolate the numbers for each?
Just change a road park from 11 games to 77 and Yankee Stadium from 77 to 11.

Can you please do Tom Brady career rushing yards in every NFL stadium?
