and you can't say that nomar would have hit .400 last year if he was a lefty..there's so many things that go into hitting. fenway park is taylor made for nomar...he can sit there and knock doubles off of the shallow GreenMonster...
there are some parks with friendly right fields..but most parks have friendly left field fences...this favors the right handed hitters...

so to simply say that if nomar were a lefthanded hitter that he would have hit .400 last year cannot be done...
you're taking one thing into consideration..that's it. yes, he might have hit a bit higher if he were lefthanded...

but you cannot hold that against tony gwynn...being lefthanded.. that is rediculous.
