Do veteran players have an edge against Giants pitching?

After Adam Jones crushed a home run off of Shaun Anderson in the 8th inning of Monday’s night, I fixated on the idea that the Giants might be really, truly terrible against older players.

That 8th inning home run was the second home run Adam Jones hit this month. His previous home run came on August 16th, in the 8th inning, against the Giants. The home run before that? June 15th in Washington. That’s right. The just turned 34-year old Adam Jones went nearly two months without a home run and in the span of 10 days hit two against the Giants.
