MLB has been moving the fences in at some stadiums because not enough home runs are being hit.

Sigh.

Much as I hate to disagree with the catcher-who-has-never-taken-any-aerodynamics-classes, the air pressure (and related density) has very much less effect on the distance a baseball can be hit than does the acceleration of gravity.

Actually, that ratio is just about the same as the rest of the GW pimps comparing the sun to carbon dioxide concentrations for effect on air temps.

LOL

Okay, lecture’s over. Just count yourself lucky that I don’t have time to math this all out for you....
