Coors Field is the best hitter in baseball history

Throughout the more than three decades that Coors Field -- home of the Colorado Rockies -- has been a part of the MLB universe, it’s consistently bestowed upon baseball fans offensive fireworks the likes of which have never been seen, much to the delight of those who love seeing a deluge of scoring and chagrin of those who yearn for old-school pitching duels. White it’s a well-known fact that the thin air of Denver and its massive outfield have conspired to turn the ballgames played at Coors into a real life video game.

But even with that knowledge, when I took to charting the discrepancies between what the Rockies’ bats were able to do within the cozy confines of Coors contrasted against what those very same bats did when taking their show on the road, it still left me stunned. And while nearly every big leaguer in every season hits way, way better at Coors than they do elsewhere, there’s one notable exception that caught me completely off guard.

Uncover that and enjoy the latest Scattered.
