But there are tons of HR parks and very few pitcher's parks, and almost no singles parks. So the only people who really have to choose a different kind of strategy are people who like pitching and singles parks.

I am not trying to change the rule, this is my first and last PC. I am just trying to inject a little common sense.

Am I wrong on the facts, leaving aside personal attacks?

If what you are saying here is correct, and I think it is, then there are 18 available parks that are not bomber parks.

Additionally, you can always become a more flexible manager. Why should the tournament rules be more accommodating to your individual style of play, rather than vice versa?

I believe that there are compelling arguments on both sides of this debate, however, I rarely see the discussion couched in terms of how the stadium restrictions affect the group dynamic. I would think that skill would matter even less, if you "knew" in advance which stadiums you're opponents were likely to be using.

There are plenty of small ball parks if that is all you wish to play through the tourney.
