Yeah, I thought of that. It's not *that* extreme, these are historically accurate parks--places like the Baker Bowl and Shibe Field as examples. I think that accounts for a lot of the 450 - 500 ft homers, sure. These are ... a bit beyond, no?
As comparison, with most of the same parks in play, Year 1 only saw about a dozen 500ft shots. List about haflway down
