Sure there have been Yankee lefties aided by the short porch. Bill Dickey comes to mind but even his road OPS is only about 35 lower than his home OPS. Larry Walker's career OPS was over 200 points higher at home and the gap is even more dramatic if only his Colorado years are counted. Some of the Greatest Yankee lefties including Ruth, Gehrig and Reggie Jackson hit as well or better on the road as they did at the Yankee Stadium. I doubt that's the case for any of the Rockies best hitters.
