Varitek 151 .351 .443 .256 .359 -.178

Millar 79 .372 .590 .304 .377 -.281
Bellhorn 33 .400 .407 .212 .241 -.354
Van sez: "'Min PA' is the lesser of their PA at home or in Yankee Stadium, and is thus your sample size. I think it's safe to say that Manny really does love to hit in Yankee Stadium, and that Damon and perhaps Varitek don't." Discussion here.

In the Tampa Bay series, Ramirez hit several long fly balls to right field that were caught at (or in front of) the warning track. If he goes the other way this weekend, a few of those flies might drift over the fence.
