which means his home OPS must be .950 or something,

Well there you have it. The Yankees signed Damon to beat the Red Sox at Fenway Park.

interesting theory doug. so you are saying that damon will keep his old .900+ OPS at fenway even while he plays there in a different uniform and bounce up to a new .900 + OPS at yankee stadium as well (since it is now "home")? so home/road spilts dont apply because he is basically at home all of the time? interesting.

As I said, split stats are overrated - but Fenway is a hitter's park. It also suits certain hitters better than others. Wade Boggs owes much of his HOF career to a +.200 OPS split at Fenway. It's possible Damon is one of these guys who excels at Fenway and is just average elsewhere.

It's also possible that the H/R splits are the result of a moderate park effect and random chance.
