		The park was double-decked and completely enclosed that year in an effort to boost capacity and cut down on the wind, but this didn't work - the winds came in just as hard in 1972, they just swirled unpredictably.
		In 1999, the park actually seemed to suppress errors, but in large part I believe this is due to J.T. Snow, maybe the best defensive first baseman to play the game since Don Mattingly and Keith Hernandez set the standard.
		Expect their park error factor to drop dramatically next year when they move to a better park - Pac Bell.
