Please post which park factors you think are "wonky".

Connie Mack Stadium
334-362-390-447-393-361-329 (distances left to right)
.998 AVG(LH + RH) 1.127 Doubles 1.387 Triples
.917 HRs (LHB and RHB). No effect from the 50ft-50ft-32ft wall in Center-RF/rfline?
Dodger Stadium
.539 HR (LHB and RHB) Really that low?
Shea Stadium
1.676 HR (LHB and RHB) really that high?
How were these factors determined, because it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the size of the park/walls which should be the major determinations for ballpark factors.
