Fenway Park Factors

Last night the Red Sox had their 500th consecutive sellout at Fenway Park. The thing that is amazing to me about the streak is the fact that as a team the Red Sox have hit .295 with a .374 OBP during those 500 games. That's impressive. I have to think that having a full house full of knowledgeable fans has to pump the Red Sox hitters up and be worth more than a few points in batting average and OBP.

Of course it could be that the sellouts started because the Red Sox were hitting and winning at Fenway. Chicken and egg type deal? The Red Sox are 327 and 173 over those 500 games at Fenway.
