Webmaster's game assessment
Think "Yankee Stadium," the architect designing this stadium did. The dimensions are exactly the same as "The House That Ruth Built" is today (but without the monuments behind left center).
Field orientation has the pitcher throwing to the southwest (unlike the Bronx). This puts the sun in right field.
Location of the field has various asymmetries to the outfield. The right field is closer than left favoring lefties hitting to the power alley. The left field power alley is slightly "extended" requiring righties to have a little extra power to clear the fence.
