Greatest of all time

Above, it was poorly arguement that Koufax unfairly benefited from his home park when historically it has been pretty close to neutral. The fact that during that time, the Dodgers had the lowest staff era in the NL every year, while having one of the worst offenses (8th, 8th, 8th & 6th ) should leave anyone with an ounce of common sense to realize scoring would be abnormally low. It is not that people don't care about those advanced metrics. It is that they are often misused and result in erroneous arguements.

Dodger Stadium was an unbelievable pitcher's park. It affected all of their numbers. In 1963 they posted virtually the same record at home (50-31) as on the road (49-32). At home they scored 296 runs and allowed 248 on the road they scored 344 runs and allowed 302. That is a constant between 1962 and 1966. Dodger Stadium inflated their pitchers numbers and hurt their offensive players.

The notion that the Dodgers had a bad offense is not true. The 1962 Dodgers scored more runs then the 1961 Yankees. They had good offensive players whose numbers suffered in Dodger Stadium.
