Building smaller baseball fields raises homerun tally for Yankees

Posted by bob hammerstrom

As if a shot or two of steroids didn’t work for certain New York Yankees players, to boost their homerun tally, AccuWeather.com says the dimensions of the new Yankee Stadium, not wind factors, are responsible for a surge in homeruns hit by the Yankees, according to an AP report in the Concord Monitor.

It’s early Sunday morning and the sun just came up. You barely have your eyes open and your child comes running up to you shouting “Dad, I hit a homerun.” A few minutes later he does it again. Aren’t you proud? Is this one of those priceless moments you’ve seen on the television ads?
