Yes, I noticed that Gambo's ballpark factors appear much more reasonable for MLB stadiums than the ones listed in the file that I included above, which I never used for this purpose. For example, I could not see why that file has Comerica Park with a ballpark factor of 2.03 for triples; it just seemed unrealistic as the scale seemed to be way off from the defaults in OOTP. Gambo's numbers appear to be properly calculated and scaled (his Comerica 3B factor is 1.115), so I may use them myself now.

BTW, Gambo, if you happen to see this thread, thanks for all of this stuff.
