Do Park Effects Treat DiMaggio Appropriately?

98.7 is simple average of park factors for JoeD's years, from Baseball Reference. Yankee stadium comes out at about an average park only because it favored lefties and killed RHBs.

Now let's take a look at Yankee Splits from 1947-51 (I don't think the Baseball Reference Play Index has much data on these breakdowns before 1947).

Place	Split	BA	OBP	SLG	OPS
Home	LHB	0.269	0.362	0.448	0.810
Road	LHB	0.280	0.359	0.432	0.791
Home	RHB	0.270	0.355	0.396	0.752
Road	RHB	0.275	0.355	0.402	0.757
Place	Split	BA	OBP	SLG	OPS
Home	OPP LHB	0.237	0.338	0.368	0.706
Road	OPP LHB	0.270	0.367	0.386	0.753
Home	OPP RHB	0.226	0.308	0.308	0.616
Road	OPP RHB	0.255	0.342	0.376	0.718

Yankee RHBs actually did just a bit better on the road (an OPS of .005 better). We see a drop off for their LHBs (OPS falls .019).

But opposition RHBs had an OPS that was .102 higher at their home parks than in Yankee Stadium.. For opposition LHBs it was only .047 better.

So their is evidence that Yankee Stadium hurt RHBs and that a simple park effect may not accurately adjust their stats.
