The Lahman park factors are Run Factors...and these factors do not even refer to the park itself, rather it refers to the effect playing half of thegames in that park will have on a player's stats.

OOTP uses this factor as component factors which is completely wrong.

Custom park factors need to be calculated a different way, and I am currently working on a park factor project based on available Run and HR data for parks pre-1960, and using Retrosheet for component park data for ballparks post-1960.
