Don't be ridiculous. They moved the wall in to appeal to fans. We overpay right-handed hitters and we win and that's what makes New York attractive. Having to hit a ball 500 feet to get it out of the park is a bit ridiculous, even in the steroid era.
The point is that the field will essentially be the same at the new ballpark. At least it isn't completely new in every regard.
