Using www.hittrackeronline.net to examine the ridiculous dimensions in Minute Maid Park. This image shows 4 home runs that would be HRs in 27 of the 30 parks, but not in the Juice Box. There has yet to be a home run hit in Houston between the two black lines. More here

This is cool
I would like to see how many uber-deep flyballs have been hit there this year. Who’s got a Gameday database?

Excellent excellent stuff.
Regarding the chart with the blue dots that show actual landing spots, is it possible to create a chart with true distance/direction spots?
Tons more analysis to be done even just at Minute Maid. Which hitters have spray charts that best/worst take advantage of the fence? Can we create a park factor using all the balls hit near the fence, between the 0% and 100% HR iso-lines and comparing to all other parks? Can we do that by polar slice?

I think Willie Bloomquist hit an inside the parker beetween the black lines once.
Does that count?
