St louis is NOT a good pitchers park LOL

And Philly is WORSE than Coors field, way worse

Cincy is 2nd

And neither is on the list

therefore, the list is a joke

Is SafeCo not considered a pitchers park anymore? And is Fenway now a pitchers park?

Addict101 · Jun 12, 2007

Safeco not in the top 5?

Pretty sure this list is based on statistics, therefore, I wouldn't really consider it a joke. However, if it is just based on statistics of this year, that is a rather small sample size.

You wouldn't know it by their performance this year, but The Cell is a top 3-5 hitters park for the past 5 years now.

Wrigley Field is the best pitchers park when the wind is blowing straight in.

In 2003, Fenway yieled somewhere around the 5th LEAST amount of homeruns in the american league. That is why a surprised Schilling, a fly ball pitcher, waived his no trade clause to come to boston. Fenway may yield more homeruns today, but not as many as people think. It has the deepest right field and right field gap in baseball. Oh, and the green monster will take away as many homeruns as it gives up.

Oak and LAD are both good pitchers parks as well.

The way that shit's laid out produces a hell of a lot of extra bases and runs don't it?

The SI list is a fucking joke. Pay no attention.
Best hitters park
Texas
Philly
Wrigley (with the wind blowing out)
Cinci
Coors

Best pitchers
Petco
Safeco
Dodgers
SF
Washington
Wrigley (with the wind blowing in)

You'll notice they never post a total at Wrigley until they're completely sure about the wind conditions.
