Hey guys,

Lets not lose site of these facts for more home runs.

The pitching mound is lower.

There are more teams, therefore fewer better pitchers.

The ball parks are smaller.

Players stay in shape all year round.

There is better methods of manufacturing a baseball bat. The handles are thinner and the barrells are bigger allowing the bat head to travel faster thru the strike zone.

And finally, there are better manufacturing techniques for a baseball. The core of the baseball has changed and tightened over the years.

I agree that steriods make up a some of the difference in this era of more home runs, but not all of it.
