Interesting article from Accu-weather that could explain the home run barrage this weekend in the Bronx.
I realize it's just a 4-game sample, but at the same point, Bill James used to talk about 'signature significance'. Most HR ever in a first series at a new ballpark would seem like a situation where that might be applicable. Especially when there may be a logical reason for it, as described in the article.
