The answer is Wrigley Field in Los Angeles, the most disruptive bandbox in baseball history, which was a major league stadium for just one year. 1961. 246 homers were hit there that year, a record that stood for 30 years according to Wikipedia. I haven't been able to figure out which park got the record then, or has it now. |

If expansion is the full explanation for the hitting spike in 1961, and I think it was (I don't seriously believe there was a one-year epidemic of performance-enhancing substances), it's not completely clear to me why pitchers were able to reassert themselves so forcefully the following year. Off the top of my head (I am writing without my trusty Total Baseball at my side), it took several years for the pitching brigade to be replenished after later expansions. |
