Cravath's power was purely the result of the ridiculousness of Baker Bowl. As an example, in 1914, he led the National League in home runs with 19. All 19 of Cravath's home runs that year occurred at Baker Bowl. For his career, Cravath never hit more than five home runs on the road in any season. Seventy-eight percent of Cravath's career home runs occurred at Baker Bowl.
