When it comes to Yankee Players are we going to hear the Yankee Stadium effect like we hear about the Cooors field effect?

Many criticize Rockies players saying away from Coors field they wouldn't be that good. So why cannot the same be said of certain Yankee Players? Yankee stadium is a band box. Routine fly outs go for home runs. At least Coors field adjusts to the high altitude by creating a bigger outfield. Look at Aarron Judge's home and road splits for example.

    Balls jump off bats in the mile-high air of Denver so the production of players who call Coors Field home are usually discounted.

    Fenway Park actually is shorter down the lines than Yankee Stadium but batters do have to contend with the Monster in left field.

    Yankee Stadium is actually laid out to play smaller than it is. The wind often carries ball past the short fences in left and right field, and that's why the team has loaded up on muscle-bound goons.

    63.6% of Aaron Judge's homers have come at home so it proves that he's not as good as advertised. Anyone can hit homers on a Little League field.

    That short porch in right field is the cheapest home run in baseball. Plenty trash hitters have exploited it.
