Hmm. It's been long enough now that I haven't thought much about the Dome effect in a while. I'm sure Bill James has some stats (since, y'know, he has stats for everything) about how much the Dome held down batters. I tend to think of it mostly as affecting home runs, but of course the Astroturf would've made a big difference on ground balls too (not to mention on everybody's knees). So yeah, Cruz, and you gotta wonder about some of those other guys like Cesar Cedeno too. Damn good player. Not to mention Bagwell, who still hit an awful lot of home runs there.
