I know it's all abstracted but if you think about it closely, the park factors are kind of arbitrary. Interesting and fun to build teams around.. but arbitrary and not really baseball-y.
LOL, ok I get what you're saying.

If it helps you keep the immersion, how I think about L/R factors is how shadows can fall on either side of the plate. That would make it harder for batters on one side to pick up on the ball.
