Hampton Inn Gate 2009
I explored what if any effect the new Hampton Inn in left field has had on home runs at the Brick this year.
There are two very simple schools of thought on the issue.
1-The hotel doesn’t matter.
2-The hotel does matter.
One argument against the notion it has cut down on homers to left field this year is the simple fact this RedHawks team doesn’t hit a lot of home runs. Last year’s club did and the hotel didn’t seem to matter much.
On the flip side, RedHawks manager Bobby Jones has changed his opinion. Last year Jones said it didn’t matter. This year he believes the finished product prevents balls from carrying to left.
Indeed that could be the case. Chris Davis hit one hard to left several days ago and it simply died at the track.
