You are correct, sir. It would be better if it uses hr/pa and included three year rates both ways rather than career/one season. It also would have been better if I had made a composite hr effect for each pitcher based on the parks they played in before SkyDome. Further, it could have been better if I would have used the SkyDome homerun factor for the year in which the pitcher pitched there, not simply the 2003 factor for everybody. If fact, had I done it that way, the ShockDome Factor would have been more prolific, as 2003 was had a particularly high homerun rate for the Dome.

Sorry, three typos there. That comment, like the study itself, was quick and dirty - although neither ought to be dismissed.
