Default The Top 5 Hofer's

"Also, how many homers would he have with that short right field in Yankee Stadium to shoot at for half of every season? Or if he was a Tiger (he loved hitting in that field)."

Williams probably would have hit more HRs if he had played in Yankee Stadium or Tiger Stadium more often. But Fenway was awful kind to his batting stats. Ted hit .360 at home compared to .328 on the road. His career OPS was 70 points higher at home than it was on the road.

Ted hit .305 at Yankee Stadium -- that number is probably lowered because he was consistently facing the top pitching staff in the league there. But the point is, he probably wouldn't have won seven batting titles without the Fenway-Factor.
