okay I see now. Lightrunner, I guess you said your park is Fenway, but comparing Boudreau and Larkin in that park is not an "absolute" evaluation of who's better. It'd be in that park and in that park alone, there're pretty darn close. I'd imagine a more middling OBP and average by comparrison (Larkin) would benefit from this park more because it brings his percentages up to comparable high +.500 levels which means the diamonddope machine lets his BR go wild. That whole formula is obviously built on OBP, with the one hitter hitting over and over again which is why you see such crazy runs created and such from Ted Williams and other OBP gods.
