Interesting Facts:
Yankee Stadium favors left-handed batters because of a shorter right-field fence (once called "Ruthville" and known since as "the short porch"), although the field has become much more symmetric over the years. In contrast, it has been a very difficult park for right-handed batters to hit in. Under the original configuration, it was 395-feet from home plate to left field, 460 ft to left center, and 490 ft to straightaway center.
