Expansion Ballparks = easy homeruns?

[Mr_October]

I have been expermenting lately with the Expansion team ballparks. And have noticed their all small compared to the regular team ballparks. Has anyone else noticed this? When I did a expansion team I was hitting homeruns left and right with my team. Guys who aren't even power hitters. Since I've quit that one and began an franchise with the Brwers, I have hit only 25 with my entire team. And I'm 35 games into the season. But with my expansion team I had hit over 40 in about 20-30 games.

I play in the Z Dome (313 LF, 265 RF, 365 CF) and I figured I'd set the league on fire with my power. I use mostly created players, but I didn't make them pitiful. . . which is how they are playing.

Darrin Erstad is my team's triple crown leader (thru 40 games):

.291 4 HR 21 RBI

I have 3 guys with 3 HR and a couple of guys with 15-18 RBI.

I don't score much at all. I rely on power pitching: Clemens and Ashby to shut down the computer.

I'm 20-20 in those 40 games, 3.5 games out of first.

i don't know. i can hit a lot of homers at home but then go on the road and maybe hit 1-2 a game. usually at home i get like 3-4. i do score about 8 RPG. mostly on my little gap hits.

Yeah, I get the opposite results. My expansion stadium, Fischbach Field, totally plays like a pitcher's park. Maybe 4 out of 5 hrs hit happen on the road. It seems, having played through two seasons now, that certain parks play as hitters' parks and others as pitchers. I don't think it has to do with Expansion, cause if it does, my disk is broke.

I don't care... I just chose the Mac because it looks like a real ballpark. Plus it brings more people to watch the game because of the hotel.
