RFK Stadium Park Factors?

[fluharty]

I am going to move the expos and play the 2004 season as though they moved. I have a pic of RFK, but I need park factors. Is it a pitchers park? A bandbox? Please, if you have done this, post your park factors and I will use them. Thanks!

Not a very good picture....

I also hacked a logo to go with Henry's Baseball Logos (yea, it still says expos in the background, but this is the best I can do).

Any idea about wind?

Oh, and get your Senators logos right here:

The new team might not even be named the Senators. The Texas Rangers own that name and might not choose to give it up.

[fluharty]

true, but my logo-making skills are not good, so making something that says "Washington Grays" is next to impossible for me. I could just go with a "W", but I like the Senators logo. I'll change it all again when they announce the team name.

No real idea about the true wind values there. But, with it being something of a pitcher's park a slight wind blowing (say 8 or 9 ??) in from left or center might work out.

For weather...

Temp - 67, 76, 85, 88, 80, 69, 58
Rain - 10, 11, 9, 10, 9 , 8, 7, 9

There's a couple of Grays' logos that might work at http://www.logoserver.com/Negro.html

jdew, I think you skipped August's temperature. Via WorldClimate.com :

Temp - 67, 76, 84, 88, 86, 80, 69

(I'd also use mostly 3's and 4's for rain based on this data, but I've never heard any definite word on what exactly the rain percentage is (percentage of rain that day, or percentage of rain in the game), or how to calculate it... so "season to taste", I say. )

Not sure if it is somewhere else that I missed, but does anyone have the financials for the Washington team to go with these ratings?

Try this picture:

How could you possibly have a park factor for that stadium? The old park factor is based on the other stadiums that were open in 1971 (or whatever year it's from), what does that have to do with 2005?
