Is 53% above average for 1901, the only year for LLoyd Street Grounds in
the major leaguegs?

Lloyd Street was also slightly below AL1900-average for run-scoring.
On the other hand, it was above the average for the four AL1900 cities
that retained franchises in 1901 (Mil, Chi, Det, Cle), as Chicago was
far below average for run-scoring.

This spring I will have (and distribute here) sophisticated run-scoring
park factors for AL1900, at least by city. Did Milwaukee play all games
at Lloyd Street, Sundays and weekdays?
