Here's a fun project that combines baseball and math. Major League baseball is played in ballparks that have their own individual quirks when it comes to the exact layout of the field. Fenway Park in Boston has the famous "Green Monster" in left field, Yankee Stadium in the Bronx is notorious for the "short porch" down the right field line, and Coors Field in Denver is at a much higher altitude than any other ballpark. How do these differences affect batting statistics? You'll need to do a little digging to pull the numbers together, but a nice thing about this project is that the experiments are already done, and the data is out there waiting for you.
