More home runs ahead

Cold air is more dense than warm air. Dry air is more dense than humid air. When a combination of warm and humid air exists, it’s a baseball hitter’s dream. It’s well known that a baseball will travel farther in warm and humid air. There is less resistance on the ball due to the lower air density. A recent study published in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society states that due to a warming of our atmosphere, home runs will continue to increase, making the pitcher’s job even harder.
