Four games into the Yankees' tenure at their new ballpark and already we're trying to crack the code of why there have been so many home runs. The 20 home runs in the Cleveland series this weekend were the highest number hit out of the first four games in any new ballpark. AccuWeather wonders if the different shape of the new stadium's shell could be generating a wind tunnel, specifically towards right field, where 14 of the 20 homers landed. While the dimensions of both parks are the same, the new stadium's tiers are less stacked, leading to the possibility of more circulation on a windy day. AccuWeather says, "This shape could enable winds to blow across the field with less restriction. In addition, the slope of the seating would also lead to a 'downslope' effect in the field which, depending on wind direction, would tend to cause air to lift up in the right field." Of course, before you run out and offer Grady Sizemore and Roy Holladay in a fantasy trade for Mark Teixeira, it could just be a fluke due to a limited sample size. But who would call into sports radio stations over that?





How about canceling the season, tearing it down and building a new stadium? It's a win win situation.
This is what applied mathematics was invented for; unfortunately, "science" was outlawed for the past 8 years.
Bush controlled what architects and engineers a privately owned sports team hired? Get a grip.
That was the stupidest political comment where it doesn't belong, perhaps ever.
Oooh, so sensitive! Try not to cry your bitter tears into your big hot steamy bowl of shut the fuck up.

Bush also caused acne, dandruff and a rip in the space/time continuum.
Seriously dude - get a grip. It's called sarcasm; next time I'll try heaping it on even more so complete morons like yourself can detect it.
Yankee scouting staff, make note to self, "more left hand batters."
So... the Yankees built a home run machine...
I want them to quote a scientist as saying "the other possibility is that the Yankees fucking suck"
Hi,
A very smart and diplomatic answer. It’s really appreciable and generous.

The hot winds are actually blowing in from the direction of the Chile con Carne stand.
