Best seats to snag home runs at Rogers Centre

Article content

The Toronto Blue Jays’ opening day is fast approaching but before you get tickets, you may want to find out which seats are best.

That’s if you are bringing your glove and want a chance at snagging home runs.

The folks at Casino.org analyzed all MLB stadiums and identified the sections with the highest probability of catching a home run ball at each by looking at every home run location (more than 22,000) from the past four seasons at all the ballparks.

As far as Rogers Centre goes, home run hunters are going to want seats in sections 142 to 146.

They discovered that sitting in left field gives fans about a one in three chance of catching a home run ball — or, at the very least, put you in the vicinity of a long ball.

The sections to avoid are pretty much anything in right field, which they found only give fans a 16.99% chance of a home run ball coming their way.

Not much better is centre field, where there’s a 17.58% chance of a homer getting hit there.

That said, Rogers Centre overall isn’t the ideal place to snag homers as it ranks 22nd out of 30 for highest home run count.

The stadium with the most home runs hit is Great American Ball Park, home of the Cincinnati Reds.

Dodger and Yankee Stadium were second and third, respectively, as far as homers by their teams go.

The San Francisco Giants’ Oracle Park ranks the lowest for home run counts.
