Weather and Ballpark

The game starts out with the weather. Besides the possibility of rain, does the game actually have the weather influence the stats? Hot weather is more offensive than cold.

Regarding BALLPARKS, are parks that are band boxes reflected in the game? Meaning, do you statistically hit more HRs in smaller parks (ala Strat-o-matic)?

Thanks!

I'd also like to understand ballpark effects. I'm managing the Oakland team, and after several seasons I've learned to anticipate that when I acquire position players their slugging % will tend to drop, and pitchers will tend to improve. But I haven't seen anything in the game that provides ballpark dimensions or tendencies. Is the underlying ballpark information visible, or are we supposed to infer it from player results?
