I mean, what's the point of using what might be an exact number and then breaking it down by park? There won't be enough home runs in a year to make that relevant anyway. Why not just make the whole thing easy for Markus to add to the game?
What you just said supports exactly what I was asking for. I provided the most factual ITP HR numbers via SABR at the top of page 2. I suggested incremental even decreases between the percentages each season starting from the 35% in 1901.
