Posted By: <b>Kevin Cummings</b><p>According to several sources (including the Yankee Stadium website) the original stadium would favor lefthanded power with the right-field foul pole only 295 feet from home plate (though it would shoot out to 429 by right center). Though the left-field pole measured only 281 feet from the plate, righthanded hitters were neutralized by a 395-foot left field and a whopping 460 to left center. Center field was a nearly impossible 490 feet away.
