STRAT has been drastically changing ballpark dimensions over the last couple of years.
mine (Yankee Stadium) went from 1-17L to 1-13L HR & 1-14R to 1-10R HR in just one year. that’s a combined negative 8 which is just ridiculous when you consider the Yankees were 2nd to the Twins this past season in team HR’s & both teams shattered the previous AL season team HR record.
thanx,

or maybe we should consider amending the ballpark rule to allow for changing when STRAT opts to drastically change a park up or down.
Rick, I was also surprised to see that the team that broke the all-time HR record has a ballpark HR 1-8 on both sides and the Yankees BP has diminished HRs. I suppose we can assume that the Yankees and Twins player's card takes that into account when cards were created.
There have been times when the BPs have greatly varied from year to year. It kind of sucks in Keeper Leagues considering most of us draft players that fit our park. I would be in favor of a stadium draft once a year in all Keepers. Owners could opt in or out of the ballpark change. My USKL league gives owners an option to change stadiums before each season. It works out OK and doesn't cause that much trouble.
