How many runs are scored on each field?

At some point this year I was curious to see if what we said about certain fields held true. For instance, people always say Municipal is the worst place for hitters while Union Hill leads to the most runs scored. Was this actually true? Would the data back it up? I decided to keep track of the runs scored at each field this year. Wednesday night games are included in the Union Hill results. Here are the runs scored per field in order from highest to fewest.


Field Totals:

Field Runs Per Game

Union Hill Right 21.61
Marlboro Elementary 19.68
Marlboro Middle School 19.09
Union Hill Left 18.62
Swim Club 17.88
East Francis 16.50
Municipal 15.69


It looks like the results do correlate with what we think about the fields.

Here's more run scoring data:

This year there were 18.73 runs scored per game. The average last year was 20.09. Maybe the league's drug policy is starting to take effect.
