The HR has been cheapened too much over the last twenty or so years for me too get too excited about it. When Aaron played thirty HRs a year was considered outstanding, forty made you a big star and fifty a HOFer. In Aaron's last season Graig Nettles LED the AL with thirty-two HRS. Nowadays we get guys like Dante Bichette and Greg Vaughn hitting forty and fifty.

Make the parks bigger, get rid of the performance enhancing drugs, maybe deaden the ball or raise the mound and then it will be exciting when my nephew hits his 756th HR in 2045.
