[quote:1e41537a6d="marcus wilby"]I don't remember that TSN allows weather effects, but it does, it only affects BP singles, so relatively a minor effect.[/quote:1e41537a6d]
I was recently reminded of this rule with a '69 team in Sick's Stadium (Seattle), that wasn't hitting in the spring. The weather was "average" on a good day (in Seattle the weather sucks until mid May or sometimes July!).
If you look at a [b:1e41537a6d]ballpark weather effect [/b:1e41537a6d]chart in the board game, IT [b:1e41537a6d]DOES AFFECT HRs[/b:1e41537a6d].
I am looking at a 2004 weather effect/ballpark chart (didn't order any 2005 cards). There are stadiums where in bad weather the HR chance is ZERO! I looked to see if there were other parks to make sure this wasn't a typo, and there were other parks with zero singles and HRs on bad weather days.
This is easy to forget when choosing a ballpark. I didn't even remeber this until about 10 days ago when looking at that '69 team.
For example, Petco's HR chances go up slightly on good weather days.
