Default Bonds exposed: Shadows details superstar slugger's steroid use
Posted By: howard

Thanks, Jon. I could only find his lefty/righty splits from 1959 on but they do indicate that he was significantly better as a right handed hitter. His BA is much higher at .314 to .268. The HR rates are similar but I'd imagine that was due to the higher degree of difficulty for a righty power hitter in Yankee Stadium as compared to that for a lefty.

Jay, thanks for the retosheet tip. Unfortunately it only has Cravath's home/road split for the 1915 world series (one for eight in both venues, in case you were wondering).
