It's bullshit, AT&T is close to straight up even. There's a large
group in the middle ranked between 10->22 within a gnats' hair of each
other.

Let's not make excuses for management, the ballpark is NOT a factor.

Glossary
Park Factor compares the rate of stats at home vs. the rate of stats
on the road. A rate higher than 1.000 favors the hitter. Below 1.000
favors the pitcher. Teams with home games in multiple stadiums list
aggregate Park Factors.

How has Mays Field ranked over the last 4 or 5 years?
I wonder if stratified for lefties vs righties, if the park effects
would be plate side specific.

They are. AT&T Park isn't bad at all for right-handed power hitters of all
stripes.

AT&T Park is awful though for left-handed power-alley hitters. But for
left-handed power hitters who can strongly pull the ball down the
right-field line like Barry Bonds, Todd Helton, or Luis Gonzalez it wasn't
bad either.
