Ballparks

Thanks to everyone for their help so far. I need some more.

this time I have ballpark questions. I am getting confused wiht how all of this works.

I downloaded a file from Padre fan's site that contains both old and current parks.

The questions involve how coordinates and Ball Locations work.

I assigned the Braves Fulton County Stadium. The coordinates look strange but I can drag and drop palyers to where i want them to be on the picture, easily enough.

My bigger concern is with Ball Locations. I completely don't understand that these are. I assume things liek wrc is something like wall right center. I would assume hp menas home plate but then there is 2lf right next to it and some are just numbers, so I have no clue.

My other questions involved the list in the Slect Ballpark to Edit function. I don't see all the ballparks.

Does this list change based on the year of the league? I see several parks not lsited but the ones I have found not to be lsited are not in existance in 1994. Safeco, Turner, Tropicana, etc, etc.

The ball locations are similar to the locations from a retrosheet boxscore. The image here should help:
