Bonds has hit a homer on average every 12.9 ABs in his career. At Shea Stadium, however, it has taken him on average 32.2 ABs per homer (13 homers in 419 ABs). Among the parks in which throughout his career he's had at least 20 ABs (that's 29 parks), Shea has been by far the toughest for him to hit a homer. At his Shea rate of 32.2 ABs per homer his career total to date would have been 303 homers, not 756!
