Aubrey Huff infield home run

Hearing news of an Aubrey Huff inside the park home run may have confused a few people but it was an excellent example of home field advantage at work. Dealing with that jagged wall dubbed "Triples Alley" on a regular basis, A Giants outfielder would be more likely to play the wall's unpredictability and ease off once realizing the ball would be over their head. Not to say this wouldn't have happened to the Giants but they are more aware of their own surroundings and little advantages like that can add up. The home run broke up a scoreless game and seemed to spark the Giants offense to a four run inning.
