Who was the best CFer in NY in the 50s
Few said Duke Snider. But that’s who hit the most HRs

I think Mays would have hit more than Snider had he not been in the military for most of 1952 and all of 1953.

Mays played just over eight years of the 10, Mantle played nine, Duke played ten. During that time, Mantle had a 173 OPS+, Mays had a 158 OPS+ and Snyder had a 147 OPS+
Or if Snider had played in the Polo Grounds. Snider was a lefty. The right field foul pole in Ebbetts Field was just 297 feet, 344 to right center:

Angle / Ebbetts Field
Left field pole: 348 ft
Left-center field: 351 ft
Deep left-center: 393 ft
Deep right-center bleacher corner: 376 ft
Deep right-center notch: 395 ft
Right-center, scoreboard edges: 344 ft and 318 ft
Right field pole: 297 ft

Polo Grounds
Left field: 279 ft (85 m)
Left-center: 450 ft (137 m)
Center field: 483 ft (147 m)

Yankee Stadium (in 1950s)
Left Field – 318 feet (97 m)
Left-Center – 399 feet (122 m)
Center Field – 408 feet (124 m)
Right-Center – 385 feet (117 m)
Right Field – 314 feet (96 m)
Right-center: 449 ft (136 m)
Right field: 258 ft (78 m)
