    easiest stadium for a right handed hitter to hit a HR

    My buddy made me a bet that I could not do a home run derby with 5 right handed hitters of my choice and hit at least 70 home runs in one round. So I get to use 5 hitters and have to get 75 home runs before I get 50 outs. I will have to average 15 home runs per hitter to accomplish this. What 5 RIGHT handed hitters would you suggest, and what stadium would be the easiest? I was thinking either Fenway or the Astros stadium? The bet is for $100, by the way so I want to make sure it's possible before I take his offer.

        What 4 hitters besides A Rod can hit a home run the easiest in The Show? I have seen way too many subpar pros who play like studs in this game (Sizemore, Cust, Branyon) so I am unsure. A Rod for sure, but I need 4 more who can get ~15 home runs before they get 10 outs.

          Tropicana Field's left field: 315 ft without a wall, I would take that over Fenway Park. As for hitters: Miguel Cabrera, Winnie the Pujols,
          Paul Konerko, Alex Rodriguez, and his name is Dan Uggla!

            Progressive Field may be a good place to do the derby at. 325 to left is not far at all. There is a tall wall out there, but that won't matter with a power hitter. Wouldn't Progressive actually be easier than Fenway?

              Would I have to worry about the freeze issues at Trop during a home run derby? I've never even played 1 inning there due to the talks of freeze issues.

                I was thinking Youkilis, Pujols, Cabrera, A Rod and one more....Does Konerko have that much power in this game?

                  I really can't answer that question because I've never experienced a freeze at the Trop. You should be fine as far as I know.

                  EXCUSE Mark Reynolds by the way, I totally forgot about Alex Rodriguez. Bad bad bad brain freeze.

                      Am I mistaken, or is Teixera a switch hitter?

                        Mark Teixeira is a switch hitter.

                          Matt Holliday? Nelson Cruz? It's too bad Jose Bautista's power ratings aren't higher.

                          Definitely Pujols, ARod, and M. Cabrera.

                          Damn, 100 bucks...

                          I wish I had friends like you.

                              I doubt it, especially if you have the latest patch. The latest patch fixed the freeze and it only occurred after accessing the bullpen during a game, then backing out of the bullpen and pressing the SELECT button. You should be fine at the Trop. though it's a pathetic stadium.
